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.
tad is not an active developer.
Bouncing this back to wranglers, as I really don't have time to take on new packages. Too busy with school.
Created attachment 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.
release afbackup-3.3.8.1 exists. Please fix as per comment 6.
Created attachment 51275 [details] 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.
dragonheart: do you want to be a member of app-backup?
In CVS, thanks.
