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. Steve-o

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