I send some patches to Gary Palmer (the port maintainer of amanda)
some time ago, but didn't receive a response.
I found out, that one has to fiddle around much with amanda.
The docu doesn't fit FreeBSD paths and devices much and such things.
Additionally I found out, that some paths could be configured more
suitable to BSD 4.4 paths.
Gary, since the topic comes up here again, could you please tell
me, if you got my patches and if you think that it's worth, to
include some or all of them ?!
BTW, I didn't get amanda working out of the box as well. Could the
port be changed, that the amount of work, to get it up and running
decreases to a small amount of work ?
It would be fine, Gary, if you could check and perhaps merge my
changes, since you are certainly someone, who got it running and
who could deceide faster than I if the patches are ok, or if I have
broken something. Although I think not.
Don't ask me, which error messages I got. I started to patch the
amanda port, because it wasnÄt working out of the box.
Just for the case, that someone want's to see, what I 'hacked' in
this port, here again the diffs.
