Comment 2 Stefan G. Weichinger 2016-11-11 14:39:40 UTC 
suggested ebuild for amanda-3.4

* upstream tarball did not compile on gentoo, I contacted upstream dev and he pointed me at patches in their 3_4 branch. So the ebuild pulls an archive tarball from that branch for now -> yes, unstable // my primary goal is to get that release testable and running on one of my gentoo servers

* added new dependencies json and swig

* added run of "autogen" script (seems necessary now)

* added new amanda-variable $AMANDA_SERVER_TAPE_DEVICE: this compiles the default tape-device into amanda, helpful for recovery

suggestions and comments welcome, as always
Comment 3 Stefan G. Weichinger 2016-11-11 15:31:14 UTC 
more changes ahead, pls be kind with your comments for now ;-)
swig maybe not needed, "./autogen" as well ... testing now.
Comment 4 Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2016-11-11 18:49:13 UTC 
thank you for the patch
Comment 5 Stefan G. Weichinger 2016-11-12 18:48:02 UTC 
more work in progress:

* additional RDEPEND dev-perl/Encode-Locale

While I am at it:

what is recommended to use for logdirs for amanda?

Earlier it was "/usr/adm/amanda/", but there is no /usr/adm anymore (maybe never was on gentoo).

The provided template amanda.conf should list some working settings for gentoo, IMO.

-

I compiled latest HEAD of upstream 3_4 branch to get a working setup.
Comment 6 Stefan G. Weichinger 2016-11-12 18:49:03 UTC 
with "logdirs for amanda" I mean the index and internal log-dirs of amanda, not /var/log, to make that clear.

upstream released 3.4.1

it contains the mentioned fixes so we can pull the plain tarball without using git-branches or patching. amanda-3.4.1.ebuild builds and works here so far.
Comment 8 Stefan G. Weichinger 2017-01-04 21:42:38 UTC 
now that 3.3.9 went stable
could we proceed getting 3.4.1 unstable ?
