Jay - Don't know if you are tracking amanda 2.5.0, but I thought I'd post my spec for the latest snapshot in case it is useful. I haven't done much testing yet, but it basically builds and runs. The krb stuff doesn't compile on FC5 because of amanda's use of depecrated interfaces. I reported upstream, but I don't know anything about kerberos to port the calls forward.

I'm planning on building it into dist-fc6 shortly after the official 2.5.0 tarball is released. That should be Real Soon Now. I haven't decided about backporting it to FC5 or FC4. I'll have to experiment and see how backward compatable it is.
Created attachment 126838 [details] Updated amanda spec The final 2.5.0 release, just in case it's useful. Fixes some permissions and sub-package locations. What I still don't understand is why almost all of the files are installed with amandauser/amandagroup ownership. A straight amanada 2.5.0 doesn't do this, don't know if 2.4.5 used to. Certainly some files probably need to be, but not all.
I'll be testing your amanda-2.5.0-2 package on FC5 shortly. Just an FYI, I dropped the following: > libtoolize --copy --force > aclocal > automake > autoconf without any apparent difficulty from the spec I was previously using. Also, /usr/bin/Mail should be left as a BuildRequires as well (fails to build in mock). Alternatively, you can set: export MAILER=/usr/bin/Mail (or mail) before running configure.
In case it's useful. --- amanda.spec 10 Apr 2006 19:52:13 -0000 1.29 +++ amanda.spec 12 Apr 2006 15:20:47 -0000 @@ -29,7 +29,7 @@ Prereq: fileutils grep initscripts BuildRequires: dump gnuplot cups samba-client tar grep fileutils BuildRequires: libtool automake autoconf gcc-c++ readline-devel -Requires: tar /usr/bin/Mail +Requires: tar /bin/mail BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-root %description @@ -85,15 +85,11 @@ %patch0 -p1 -b .bug18322 %patch1 -p1 -b .pie %patch2 -p1 -b .overflow -libtoolize --copy --force -aclocal -automake -autoconf %build export CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_GNU_SOURCE" export SED=sed - +export MAILER=/bin/mail %configure --enable-shared \ --disable-static \ --disable-dependency-tracking \
Looks like 2.5.0p2 is out with an important bug fix. It also has the overflow patch applied. The above patch continues to work for me too, although you should also be able to drop the BR on libtool, automake, and autoconf.
There's another important (for me at least) patch that needs to be added to even 2.5.0p2, which I'll attach. Without the patch, amcheck will go through a changer, not find an acceptable tape for the next run, and fail to complain about it.
