I use a piece of software called Bacula to make backups of the data on our home PC’s and on various websites.

Version 2.0 of Bacula has just been released!

I have built a set of RPMs for fedora core 4. They were built using this spec file in the following procedure.

Installing v2.0

Configure

CFLAGS=”-g -Wall” ./configure \
–prefix=/usr \
–sbindir=/usr/sbin \
–sysconfdir=/etc/bacula \
–with-scriptdir=/etc/bacula \
–enable-smartalloc \
–enable-gnome \
–with-mysql \
–with-working-dir=/var/bacula \
–with-pid-dir=/var/run \
–with-subsys-dir=/var/lock/subsys \
–enable-conio

Then copy bacula.spec to ~/bacula_v2

Then cp bacula-2.0.0.tar.gz ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/

wget ‘http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/bacula/depkgs-04Jan07.tar.gz’

Edit bacula.spec to refer to this depkgs version at the top.

Edit bacula.spec to refer to this version.

Then rpmbuild -ba –define ‘build_fc4 1′ –define ‘build_mysql 1′ –define ‘build_mysql4 1′ bacula.spec
