Bug 829888

Hello,

it's correct that those packages are not a requirement; I backup everything to a large NAS and do volume rotation inside Bacula; so I have no need for those tools.

I'll make a note in the README.Fedora file about that, but it's not to be considered a requirement.

I'm building now the package in Koji, when it is available in updates-testing please bear the following:

The symlink library name has changed because we discovered a bug during version upgrades.

Please issue the following before upgrading:

alternatives --remove /usr/lib64/libbaccats-mysql-5.2.6.so
alternatives --remove /usr/lib64/libbaccats-sqlite3-5.2.6.so
alternatives --remove /usr/lib64/libbaccats-postgresql-5.2.6.so

And then set again your preference database with:

# alternatives --config libbaccats.so

There are 3 programs which provide 'libbaccats.so'.

  Selection    Command
-----------------------------------------------
   1           /usr/lib64/libbaccats-mysql.so
 + 2           /usr/lib64/libbaccats-sqlite3.so
*  3           /usr/lib64/libbaccats-postgresql.so

Enter to keep the current selection[+], or type selection number:

Please go to the following url:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-9159/bacula-docs-5.2.7-1.fc17,bacula-5.2.7-4.fc17
then log in and leave karma (feedback).

5.2.8 has come out upstream with many other bugs fixed.

I introduced a change in the spec file that checks for the obsolete symlinks for bacula-dir, bacula-sd (>=F16) and libbaccats-backend-version.so (=F17) and sets the new one accordingly so the change should not be done manually.

So even an upgrade from F16 to F17 should be safe and retain the preferences.

Excerpt from the spec file:

# Fix for automatic selection of backends during upgrades
if readlink /etc/alternatives/libbaccats.so | grep --silent mysql || \
   readlink /etc/alternatives/bacula-dir | grep --silent mysql || \
   readlink /etc/alternatives/bacula-sd | grep --silent mysql; then
   /usr/sbin/alternatives --set libbaccats.so %{_libdir}/libbaccats-mysql.so
elif readlink /etc/alternatives/libbaccats.so | grep --silent sqlite || \
   readlink /etc/alternatives/bacula-dir | grep --silent sqlite || \
   readlink /etc/alternatives/bacula-sd | grep --silent sqlite; then
   /usr/sbin/alternatives --set libbaccats.so %{_libdir}/libbaccats-sqlite3.so
else
   /usr/sbin/alternatives --set libbaccats.so %{_libdir}/libbaccats-postgresql.so
fi
