new port submission: amanda

[lists@…]

Here is my initial submission of porting Amanda (www.amanda.org) to MacPorts. I welcome any comments as this is my first port to MacPorts and there are probably things I am doing in a non-conformant way.

Xlong_description       AMANDA, the Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk \
X                       Archiver, is a backup system that allows the \
X                       administrator to set up a single master backup server \
X                       to back up multiple hosts over network to tape \
X                       drives/changers or disks or optical media. \
X                       Amanda uses native dump and/or GNU tar facilities \
X                       and can back up a large number of workstations \
X                       running multiple versions of Unix. Amanda uses \
X                       Samba or Cygwin to back up Microsoft Windows desktops \
X                       and servers.

Thanks for your contribution! Some comments:

• Shell archives are weird; in the future, please just attach files to the ticket.
• The use of default_variants is not recommended. It causes problems when upgrading, due to a MacPorts base bug.
• Disabling the client features in the server variant and vice versa for the client variant is weird. It would be more usual to include --without-client and --without-server in the default configure.args, and remove one or the other in the appropriate variant with configure.args-delete.
• Why are there both client and server variants? Is there ever a case when you would want neither? Is there ever a case when you would want both? Is there any reason why for example the client features couldn't be on all the time, and the server features would be a variant?
• Is there any reason why you're providing launchd plists and xinetd scripts instead of using ​startupitem.create and related MacPorts commands? Are the startup scripts needed for the client, or the server, or both? I note that you provide two launchd plists, and that MacPorts currently only supports one plist per port. Do you really need two launchd plists?
• I believe user creation should happen in pre-destroot instead of post-install. Looks like more ports are doing it around destroot time rather than install time.
• In your xinstall commands, you're listing the -d option twice, which is redundant, and you're using -m 755, which is unnecessary because 755 is the default mode for directories.

Could you please attach revised files to this ticket?

I'll fix everything else but I did try to use startupitems but was told in IRC that xinetd scripts aren't supported by the startupitem.* framework:

16:53 < jools> specifically i'm trying to convert these -

16:53 < sfiera> Hmm, I don't think MacPorts' startupitem support is able to deal
 with xinetd yet

Has this changed?

[lists@…]

Also Version on this ticket needs to be set to 1.5.2 as destroot.violate_mtree is needed for this port.

Replying to lists@aquezada.com:

I was attempting to assemble a similar Port, when I realized that most of the work was already done.

Has this attempt been abandoned?

Is there an expected release date?

Sadly I have had to abandon this effort because my test box died (and I am not actually a Mac user -- I was packaging this for someone else who has now found an alternate solution)

Feel free to take on what I've done, rework it and make it ready for inclusion!
