Hello Karel, Hello list, FYI: I'm happily running amanda-2.5.0 on Mac OS X 10.4.6. No compile problems whatsoever and as a special treat, Apple has updated their UNIX utilities in 10.4 to properly work with HFS+ and resource forks. So no hfstar/xtar is needed any more. I've tested this quite a bit and found it to work nicely, although I haven't tested a full system recovery.
An update to https://webserver.brandeis.edu/pages/view/Bio/AmandaMacOSXCompileNotes or http://www.amanda.org/docs/systemnotes.html#id2526824 to reflect this change might be nice. Since Apple has retired init and xinetd and replaced them by launchd, I've written a proper LaunchDaemon-File for it. It's attached to this mail. I also have small scripts enableamanda and disableamanda to switch it on and off at runtime using launchctl using a command like: echo "load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.amanda.amandad.plist" | launchctl and echo "unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.amanda.amandad.plist" | launchctl Thanks and keep up the great work! -- Micha I like Kaba!
