[bugfixes and minor improvements omitted; see NEWS]
Changes in release 2.5.2
* krb5 auth is working
* Works with IPv6 address
* Amanda configuration file changes
o amanda.conf changes
+ debugging is enabled in the config file
see all debug_* config option
+ tapetype 'readblocksize', if maxtapeblocksize is set too
larger for your hardware
* Amanda command changes
o amadmin: new 'holding list' and 'holding delete' subcommand.
Changes in release 2.5.1p3

* Amanda command changes
o amtape accept the -o arguments
o amgetconf --list to list all tapetype, dumptype, holdingdisk
or interface
o amgetconf can return a value of a specific tapetype, dumptype,
holdingdisk or interface
Changes in release 2.5.1p1
* Remove contrib/sst.
Changes in release 2.5.1
* Defects found by Coverity scan and Klocwork K7 analysis tools fixed.
* Works with GNU tar 1.15.91 - work with new gtar state file format.
* Open SSL encryption support
* Two new authentication methods: bsdtcp, bsdudp.
* Unlimited number of DLEs on a client with bsdtcp, rsh and ssh
authentication methods.
* Recovery process amrecover uses Secure API. amoldrecover command
(same syntax and functionality as amrecover command) is provided for
compatibility with old Amanda releases. amoldrecover command uses old
amidxtaped/amindexd protocol.
* Amanda debug files are separated into client/server/amandad and
are also classified based on Amanda configuration name.
* Amanda command changes
o amfetchdump -o is replaced by -O.
o amcheck -w option does all tests including the tape writable test.
Use amcheck -t -w to do only the tape writable test.
o -o command option to override Amanda configuration. See amanda man
page for details.
o amgetconf command doesn't write the BUGGY message when a entry
is not found in the configuration file.
* Amanda configuration file changes
o amanda.conf changes
+ amrecover_do_fsf in amanda.conf defaults to yes
+ amrecover_check_label in amanda.conf defaults to yes
+ usetimestamps in amanda.conf to support multiple
backup runs in a calendar day.
+ holdingdisk in amanda.conf supports new values:
NEVER, AUTO, REQUIRED.
+ amandad_path, client_username and ssh_keys in
amanda.conf for ssh/rsh authentication.
o New amanda client configuration file - amanda-client.conf.
Different client configuration file can be used for each Amanda
configuration.
+ gnutar_list-dir and amandates can be specified in
Amanda client configuration file - amanda-client.conf
o .amandahosts format changes to allow use of secure API for recovery.
o Amanda service entries in xinetd configuration has changed.
Changes in release 2.5.0p1
* Add the 'amtape update' command.
Changes in release 2.5.0
* Communication security/authentication: Kerberos 4/5, OpenSSH
* Data security: Symmetric/Assymetric encrytion algorithms (aesutil
and gpg encryption), Encryption can be done on server or client,
Custom encryption utilities can be used.
* Compression: Ability to add custom compression tools. This is a
really useful feature especially since it can specified for a DLE. You
can use different compression algorithm for images, binaries, ascii files
and so on.
* Dump images spanning multiple media volumes - Dump images are no
longer restricted to a single media volume (tape or vtape). Data restoration
can be done using amrecover and amfetchdump commands.
* Auto tape labelling - This optional feature is good for disk backups.
Change in release 2.4.5
* new displayunit global option to select the unit use to display number
k=kilo, m=mega, g=giga, t=tera.
* new amoverview -skipmissed option.
Change in release 2.4.5b1
* holding disk disk use timestamped directory.
* autoflush flush today's dump.
* new bumppercent global option, this should improve bumping criteria,
the bumpsize is set to a fixed value which can be adequate for small
and large disk.
* bumpsize, bumppercent, bumpdays and bumpmult can be in a dumptype.
* calcsize support include and exclude like gnutar.
* new 'estimate' dumptype option to select estimate type:
CLIENT: estimate by the dumping program.
CALCSIZE: estimate by the calcsize program, a lot faster but less acurate.
SERVER: estimate based on statistic from previous run, take second but
can be wrong on the estimate size.
Make chg-chio wait for a tape to come ready after loading it.

Patch from Aaron Grier in PR pkg/35231.
(This resolves issue #1 in the PR; issue #2 is unrelated.)
packages. Set runtime dependencies on GNU tar and gzip for all amanda
packages.
Bump PKGREVISIONs to 1 for amanda-client and amanda-plot, to 2 for
amanda-common and amanda-server.
around at either build-time or at run-time is:
USE_TOOLS+= perl # build-time
USE_TOOLS+= perl:run # run-time
Also remove some places where perl5/buildlink3.mk was being included
by a package Makefile, but all that the package wanted was the Perl
executable.
Bug fix release and minor improvements:
new chg-iomega changer script.
amanda will not use a tape if it's label is not in the tapelist file.
amflush.c: Don't start a driver if nothing to flush.
amadmin.c: Call check_dumpuser() as soon as posible.
amadmin.c: Don't core dump if DUMPCYLE is too big.
dumper.c: Parse warning message.
Do not pass the element descriptor size to SCSI_ReadElementStatus();
SCSI_ReadElementStatus() will then issue a SC_COM_RES to know how much space
it needs to allocate, then issue a second one with the proper size.
Fix problems with newer changers, which returns a descriptor status larger
than sizeof(DataTransferElementDescriptor_T).
These changes makes the Overland neo2000/SDLT320 work with amanda.
Ride the libtool PKGREVISION bump.
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
All library names listed by *.la files no longer need to be listed
in the PLIST, e.g., instead of:
lib/libfoo.a
lib/libfoo.la
lib/libfoo.so
lib/libfoo.so.0
lib/libfoo.so.0.1
one simply needs:
lib/libfoo.la
and bsd.pkg.mk will automatically ensure that the additional library
names are listed in the installed package +CONTENTS file.
Also make LIBTOOLIZE_PLIST default to "yes".
The automatic truncation in gensolpkg doesn't work for packages which
have the same package name for the first 5-6 chars.
e.g. amanda-server and amanda-client would be named amanda and amanda.
Now, we add a SVR4_PKGNAME and use amacl for amanda-client and amase for
amanda-server.
All svr4 packages also have a vendor tag, so we have to reserve some chars
for this tag, which is normaly 3 or 4 chars. Thats why we can only use 6
or 5 chars for SVR4_PKGNAME. I used 5 for all the packages, to give the
vendor tag enough room.
All p5-* packages and a few other packages have now a SVR4_PKGNAME.
- Apply the patch from pkg/13188 by Ron Roskens <roskens@elfin.net> to
fix problems with hard-coding /var/amanda.
- Remove USE_X11 from amanda-server since amanda-plot has already been
split out.
- Don't explicitly look for headers in ${PREFIX}/include.

This patch continues to use the old ioctl on new systems. If it worked
