hai, I'm new to snapper, and I'm planning to migrate to arch + btrfs + snapper + grub. I'll use the archinstall script defaults which are sane enough based on my research and testing.
my question is more related to what packages I need to install, as there are several, revolving updating grub.
on ext4, I used grub-backup-hook, so it backups grub config, then make pacman trigger grub config update after kernel updates.
now, I'm not sure which packages I should use for btrfs + snapper. the wiki talks about snap-pac-hook and snapper-support. I don't know if I should use one of those, or both.

#

forgot to mention, that I'll use btrfs assistant to manage btrfs and snapper
