[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
* Works with tar-1.16 and exit status of 1.
Changes in release 2.5.1p2
* amoverview is working
* dumptype starttime is working
* 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.
This will cause amanda to add -X to dump on systems where this option
is available (AFAIK NetBSD 3.0 and newer).
Add the user-settable variable AMANDA_DUMP_SNAP to control this at the
package build time (disabled by default).
Bump pkgrevision.
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.
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.
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".
amanada-client only needs the gtar binary and not the gtar meta package.
gtar-base didn't exists in the past, but the old gtar package is enough
for this package, thats why we also allow to use the old gtar package.
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.
CXXFLAGS, and LDFLAGS by the buildlink.mk files so remove the extra
definitions to add them from the package Makefiles. As advised by the
bsd.buildlink.mk file, also ensure that the buildlink.mk files are
included prior to defining any package-specific CFLAGS/LDFLAGS to ensure
that the buildlink directories are at the head of the compiler search
paths.
Add a new USE_LIBTOOL definition that uses the libtool package instead of
pkglibtool which is now considered outdated.
USE_PKGLIBTOOL is available for backwards compatibility with old packages
but is deprecated for new packages.
chio.h. Note: I do *not* own a SCSI tape changer. Testing appreciated!
This patch continues to use the old ioctl on new systems. If it worked
before, it should continue to work.
Fixes PR pkg/8651.
