Bug 65922 – [EBUILD] new package: amanda-afs-0.0.4.ebuild

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM

[Description Steve-o 2004-09-30 07:51:43 UTC]

New ebuild for amanda-afs.

Amanda-afs is an extra package of tools in order to use AMANDA (tape backup) with AFS Volumes similar to the "vos backup" command.

I suggest app-admin/amanda-afs because amanda lives in app-admin/amanda.  This ebuild depends on openafs, and there is a patch submitted so that Amanda with the afs USE flag will depend on this package.

Suggested location is now app-backup/amanda-afs to coincide with Amanda's move
in portage.

The gentoo amanda ebuild isn't that useful without hacking, anyway to note
here's what I had to do to get the crontab to work, first assign a shell to user
amanda (/bin/false -> /bin/sh), then update /etc/cron.daily/amanda, replacing
DailySet1 with your profile:

NB: this is for a vtape setup, hence the mt command has been removed.

#!/bin/sh

# check tapes, error is mailed to admin, then backup

export GNUTAR=/usr/sbin/gtar-wrapper.pl

su -c amanda "/usr/sbin/amcheck -t -m DailySet1 && \
        ( /usr/sbin/amdump DailySet1 )"

And to get it running ensure it has the executable bit set.

steve-o: please port for amanda-2.5 and give assurances that it is tested.

if there is no response in one month, I will be closing this bug as WONTFIX.

[Comment 10 Robin Johnson 2007-04-10 10:36:11 UTC]

no response about porting this to 2.5 series.
Closing as UPSTREAM, please take it to them instead.
