 # Purpose:
 #   Improves Grub by adding "btrfs snapshots" to the Grub menu.
-#   You can start your system on a "snapshot" from the Grub menu.
-#   Supports manual snapshots, snapper ...
-#   Warning : booting on read-only snapshots can be tricky
+#   You can boot your system on a "snapshot" from the Grub menu.
+#   Supports manual snapshots, snapper, timeshift ...
+#   Warning : booting on read-only snapshots can be tricky.
 #   (Read about it, https://github.com/Antynea/grub-btrfs#warning-booting-on-read-only-snapshots-can-be-tricky)
 #
 # What this script does:
 # - Automatically List snapshots existing on root partition (btrfs).
 # - Automatically Detect if "/boot" is in separate partition.
-# - Automatically Detect kernel, initramfs and intel microcode in "/boot" directory on snapshots.
-# - Automatically Create corresponding "menuentry" in grub.cfg
-# - Automatically detect snapper and use snapper's snapshot description if available.
+# - Automatically Detect kernel, initramfs and intel/amd microcode in "/boot" directory on snapshots.
+# - Automatically Create corresponding "menuentry" in grub.cfg.
+# - Automatically detect the type/tags and descriptions/comments of snapper/timeshift snapshots.
 # - Automatically generate grub.cfg if you use the provided systemd service.
 #
 # Installation:
-# - Run `make install` or look into Makefile for instructions on where to put each file.
+# - Refer to https://github.com/Antynea/grub-btrfs#installation-
 #
 # Customization:
-#  Refer to config for the list of available options and their default values.
-#  Place your configurations to /etc/default/grub-btrfs/config.
+#  You have the possibility to modify many parameters in /etc/default/grub-btrfs/config.
 #
 # Automatically update Grub
-#  If you would like Grub to automatically update when a snapshots is made or deleted:
-#  - Use systemctl start/enable grub-btrfs.path
-#  - grub-btrfs.path automatically (re)generates grub.cfg when a modification appears in /.snapshots folder (by default).
-#  - If your snapshots aren't mounted in /.snapshots, you must modify the watch folder using systemctl edit grub-btrfs.path
-#  - See https://github.com/Antynea/grub-btrfs#automatically-update-grub
+#  If you would like grub-btrfs menu to automatically update when a snapshot is created or deleted:
+#  - Refer to https://github.com/Antynea/grub-btrfs#automatically-update-grub.

 Improves Grub by adding "btrfs snapshots" to the Grub menu.
 
-You can start your system on a "snapshot" from the Grub menu.  
+You can boot your system on a "snapshot" from the Grub menu.  
 Supports manual snapshots, snapper, timeshift ...
 
 ##### Warning: booting on read-only snapshots can be tricky
@@ -21,55 +21,135 @@ See [this ticket](https://github.com/Antynea/grub-btrfs/issues/92) for more info
 This project includes its own solution.  
 Refer to the [documentation](https://github.com/Antynea/grub-btrfs/blob/master/initramfs/readme.md).
 
-##
+- - -
 ### What does grub-btrfs v4.xx do :
 * Automatically List snapshots existing on root partition (btrfs).
 * Automatically Detect if "/boot" is in separate partition.
 * Automatically Detect kernel, initramfs and intel/amd microcode in "/boot" directory on snapshots.
 * Automatically Create corresponding "menuentry" in `grub.cfg`
-* Automatically detect snapper and use snapper's snapshot description if available.
+* Automatically detect the type/tags and descriptions/comments of snapper/timeshift snapshots.
 * Automatically generate `grub.cfg` if you use the provided systemd service.
 
-##
+- - -
 ### Installation :
 #### Arch Linux
-
+The package is available in the community repository [grub-btrfs](https://archlinux.org/packages/community/any/grub-btrfs/)
 ```
 pacman -S grub-btrfs
 ```
 
+#### Gentoo
+grub-btrfs is only available in the Gentoo User Repository (GURU) and not in the official Gentoo repository.  
+If you have not activated the GURU yet, do so by running:
+```
+emerge -av app-eselect/eselect-repository 
+eselect repository enable guru 
+emerge --sync 
+```
+
+Now merge grub-btrfs via 
+`emerge app-backup/grub-btrfs`
+
 #### Manual
-
 * Run `make install` or look into Makefile for instructions on where to put each file.
+* Run `make help` to check what options are available. 
+* Dependencies:
+  * [btrfs-progs](https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/btrfs-progs/)
+  * [grub](https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/grub/)
+  * [bash >4](https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/bash/)
+  * [gawk ](https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/gawk/)
 
-NOTE: Generate your Grub menu after installation for the changes to take effect.  
-On Arch Linux use `grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg`.
-
-##
-### Customization:
+#### NOTE: All distros
+Generate your Grub menu after installation for the changes to take effect.  
+For example:  
+On **Arch Linux** or **Gentoo** use `grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg`.  
+On **Fedora** use `grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg`  
+On **Debian-like** distribution `update-grub` is an alias to `grub-mkconfig ...`
+- - -
+### Customization :
 
 You have the possibility to modify many parameters in `/etc/default/grub-btrfs/config`.  
 See [config file](https://github.com/Antynea/grub-btrfs/blob/master/config) for more information.
 
-##
-### Automatically update grub
-If you would like Grub to automatically update when a snapshot is made or deleted:
-* Use `systemctl start/enable grub-btrfs.path`.
-* `grub-btrfs.path` automatically (re)generates `grub.cfg` when a modification appears in `/.snapshots` folder (by default).
-* If your snapshots aren't mounted in `/.snapshots`, you must modify the watch folder using `systemctl edit grub-btrfs.path`.  
-	* For example: Timeshift mount its snapshots in `/run/timeshift/backup/timeshift-btrfs/snapshots` folder.
+- - -
+### Automatically update grub :
+#### Systemd
+1. If you would like grub-btrfs menu to automatically update when a snapshot is created or deleted:
+* Use `systemctl enable grub-btrfs.path`.
+  * `grub-btrfs.path` automatically (re)generates `grub-btrfs.cfg` when a modification appears in `/.snapshots` mount point (by default).
+  * If the `/.snapshots` mount point is already mounted, then use `systemctl start grub-btrfs.path` to start monitoring.  
+    Otherwise, the unit will automatically start monitoring when the mount point will be available.
+* If your snapshots location aren't mounted in `/.snapshots`, you must modify `grub-btrfs.path` unit using  
+`systemctl edit --full grub-btrfs.path` and run `systemctl reenable grub-btrfs.path` for changes take effect.  
+To find out the name of the `.mount` unit  
+use `systemctl list-units -t mount`.  
+	* For example: Timeshift mounts its snapshot folder in `/run/timeshift/backup/timeshift-btrfs/snapshots`.
 
-		Use `systemctl edit grub-btrfs.path`.
-		Then wrote:
+		Use `systemctl edit --full grub-btrfs.path`.
+		Then replace the whole block by:
 		```
+		[Unit]
+		Description=Monitors for new snapshots
+		DefaultDependencies=no
+		Requires=run-timeshift-backup.mount
+		After=run-timeshift-backup.mount
+		BindsTo=run-timeshift-backup.mount
+
 		[Path]
 		PathModified=/run/timeshift/backup/timeshift-btrfs/snapshots
+
+		[Install]
+		WantedBy=run-timeshift-backup.mount
 		```
-		and finally save.
+		Then save and finally run `systemctl reenable grub-btrfs.path` for changes take effect.  
+		Optional:  
+		If the `/run/timeshift/backup/timeshift-btrfs/snapshots` mount point is already mounted,  
+		then use `systemctl start grub-btrfs.path` to start monitoring.  
+		Otherwise, the unit will automatically start monitoring when the mount point will be available.  
 	* You can view your change to `systemctl cat grub-btrfs.path`.
 	* To revert change use `systemctl revert grub-btrfs.path`.
+
+2. If you would like grub-btrfs menu to automatically update on system restart/ shutdown:  
+[Look at this comment](https://github.com/Antynea/grub-btrfs/issues/138#issuecomment-766918328)  
+Currently not implemented
 ##
+#### OpenRC
+1. If you would like grub-btrfs menu to automatically update when a snapshot is created or deleted:
+* Use `rc-config add grub-btrfsd default`, to start the grub-btrfsd daemon the next time the system boots. 
+	* To start `grub-btrfsd` right now, run `rc-service grub-btrfsd start`
+	* `grub-btrfsd` automatically watches the snapshot directory of timeshift (/run/timeshift/backup/timeshift-btrfs/snapshots)
+	and updates the grub-menu when a change occurs.
+* Currently untested for snapper
+
+2. If you would like grub-btrfs menu to automatically update on system restart/ shutdown:
+Just add the following script as `/etc/local.d/grub-btrfs-update.stop`
+	```
+	#!/bin/bash
+	
+	description="Update the grub btrfs snapshots menu"
+	name="grub-btrfs-update"
+	
+	depend()
+	{
+	  use localmount
+	}
+	
+	bash -c 'if [ -s "${GRUB_BTRFS_GRUB_DIRNAME:-/boot/grub}/grub-btrfs.cfg" ]; then /etc/grub.d/41_snapshots-btrfs; else {GRUB_BTRFS_MKCONFIG:-grub-mkconfig} -o {GRUB_BTRFS_GRUB_DIRNAME:-/boot/grub}/grub.cfg; fi' 
+	```
+	
+	Make your script executeable with `chmod a+x /etc/local.d/grub-btrfs-update.stop`.
+
+* The extension ".stop" at the end of the filename indicates to locald that this script should be run at shutdown. 
+ If you want to run the menu update on startup instead, rename the file to `grub-btrfs-update.start`
+* Works for snapper and timeshift
+
+##### Warning :
+by default, `grub-mkconfig` command is used.  
+Might be `grub2-mkconfig` on some systems (Fedora ...).   
+Edit `GRUB_BTRFS_MKCONFIG` variable in `/etc/default/grub-btrfs/config` file to reflect this.
