WHAT IS AMANDA?
---------------
This is a release of Amanda, the Advanced Maryland Automatic
Network Disk Archiver. Amanda is a backup system designed to archive many
computers on a network to a single large-capacity tape drive.
Here are some features of Amanda:
* written in C, freely distributable.
* built on top of standard backup software: Unix dump/restore, and
later GNU Tar and others.
* will back up multiple machines in parallel to a holding disk, blasting
finished dumps one by one to tape as fast as we can write files to
tape. For example, a ~2 Gb 8mm tape on a ~240K/s interface to a host
with a large holding disk can be filled by Amanda in under 4 hours.
* does simple tape management: will not overwrite the wrong tape.
===> The following configuration options are available for amanda-client-3.5.1_1,1:
GNUTAR=on: use GNU tar
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
Stage support
I merged the 2 plists to prevent orphans to be reported during make check-plist
of misc/amanda-server, as it installs into stage some files already provided by
misc/amanda-client
Bump PORTREVISION as the install/deinstall scripts were revised
PR: ports/193196
- Upgrade to 2.6.1.
- Turn on SSH auth by default.
- Sorry, previous default path of $AMANDA_DATES was typo. Fixed here
it should be. Please take care when upgrading.

Finally upgrade to 2.6.0p2.
Old 2.5.x version is repocopied as misc/amanda25-{server,client}.
If you have backup clients which cannot be upgraded to 2.6.x, use these
old ports or disable usetimestamps option (enabled by default, which
is incompatible with 2.5.x) in amanda.conf.
More minor improvements will follow.

Bump portrevision due to upgrade of devel/gettext.
The affected ports are the ones with gettext as a run-dependency
according to ports/INDEX-7 (5007 of them) and the ones with USE_GETTEXT
in Makefile (29 of them).

As pointed out in PR ports/73956, even if a user and/or group was specified
there were two chown statements they were ignored.

* Create the directory ${PREFIX}/var/amanda/gnutar-lists and make operator
own it
* Crate /etc/amandates and have operator own it. This is hard coded at
compile time and can't easily be made ${PREFIX} safe.

Revive amanda-client and amanda-server. These are not the old
amanda, but rather the _current_ amanda. I mistakenly associated
them with ports/misc/amanda.
Please pass the pointy hat.
Graciously brought to my attention by: jeh
Upgrade amanda to 2.4.3b1.
This is an upgraded repo-copy of amand24-client and amanda24-server, which
along with the out dated amanda will be going away.
