The amanda package you were working with is not the same package in the Powertools 6.1 tree, are you sure that you are using the correct package? The source package in powertools is amanda-2.4.1p1-3.src.rpm, which source did you have problems with? I looked at your changelog and I didn't see my changelog entries in there, the correct 6.1 package should work fine. It is available form here: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/powertools/6.1/ Tim Mmmh, I must have grabbed the amanda from powertools 6.0. I looked at your package but the differences are minimal (%defattr and STATFS_SCALE patch). Are you saying that you are actually using the powertools amanda package and that it works for you? If so, please accept my apologies wrt to my comments in the changelog of my spec file, but do let me know that it can somehow be made to work out of the box. If you can make it work with the help of some suitable configuration file (which one can't guess since they're not included in the package), the configure line still has several problems. You are missing at least --localstatedir=/var/lib --with-gnutar-listdir=/var/lib/amanda/gnutar-lists --with-smbclient=/usr/bin/smbclient --with-gnutar=/bin/tar (see spec file for comments) I've made many other modifications, but the best thing is probably for you to pull my src.rpm and look at the spec file (it contains among other things a working set of sample config files, a quick setup readme file, and a bunch of other files that amanda needs in order to work) ftp://ftp.valinux.com/pub/software/VALinux/updates/source/amanda-2.4.1-8.src.rpm fixed in rawhide This is probably not an package bug, but every time HJ Lu upgrades his machine to the latest 6.1.9x, the upgrade or the inetd package botches /etc/inetd.conf and removes amanda dgram udp wait operator.disk /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/lib/amanda/amandad amandaidx stream tcp nowait operator.disk /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/lib/amanda/amindexd amidxtape stream tcp nowait operator.disk /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/lib/amanda/amidxtaped I haven't looked very closely at what is responsible for this problem. I also noticed that the first version of that package was missing a line that moved /etc/inetd.conf_amanda_server.sav to /tmp, but apparently that got fixed later This is actually the ddefault behavior of RPM when dealing with config files where the md5 sum is different from the origional package (in this case inetd). Saved config files aren't moved into /tmp, they are renamed in their current directories to someting like <filename>.rpmsave I am closing this because it is not a bug with amanda, but is expected behavior WRT how RPM backs up changed config files. (for those reading the bug on bugzilla, this was a misunderstanding, Tim and me
agreed on a course of action for future versions of amanda).
The problem with disappearing lines in inetd.conf is due to the unexpected
behavior from RPM, and the attached spec file diff works around this, as well
as cleans up the inetd.conf_amanda_{server,client}.rpmsave issue.
(I understand that this will get fixed at a later date)
Created attachment 147 [details]
add dependency on inetd, clean rpmsave rename, fix upgrade issues
I forgot to include a file in the amanda-client RPM: /usr/lib/amanda/chg-zd-mtx |
