Description:   Opened: 2003-11-19 14:41 0000 
Want an ebuild created for the afbackup package (found on Sourceforge).  I
attempted to create one myself, but was having problems on the install phase. 
I'm not that familiar with creating ebuilds, so I figure that this would be
easier by someone who is.

Care to share a little more information?

URL, what is it, whare should it go in the tree?

afbackup is a client-server backup system (similar to amanda), but it looks a
little simpler to setup than amanda.  It (reportedly) handles media libraries.

URL: http://sourceforge.net/projects/afbackup/

It would probably go into app-admin, since that's where amanda is.

Bouncing this back to wranglers, as I really don't have time to take on new
packages. Too busy with school.

Created an attachment (id=42173) [details]
afbackup-client-3.3.8.ebuild

Copy the same ebuild to afbackup-server-3.3.8.ebuild for installing a server.

Those two should then go to:
app-arch/afbackup-server
app-arch/afbackup-client

Regards,
Andy.

Improvements:
Editing ebuilds gets bad since portage is now does checking manifest and the soon to be signitures.

Alternative:

Get the key off an environment varable.

If no environment varable is set - create something random and store it in /etc/afbackup-key with no read permissions.

Modify ebuild to use patch level one version of code. afbackup-3.3.8pl1

If these items can be changed I'll add this in some form.

------- Comment #7 From Daniel Black 2005-02-15 03:09:12 0000 ------- 
release afbackup-3.3.8.1 exists. Please fix as per comment 6.

afbackup-server/client-3.3.8.1.ebuild rename accordingly

auth key is now autogenerated and stored in a keyfile, and/or read
from an environment variable. whichever comes first. ;-)

The same ebuild can be used to install a server or a client:
just name the ebuild:

afbackup-server-3.3.8.1.ebuild
 or
afbackup-client-3.3.8.1.ebuild

Andy, still somewhat busy.
