It takes courage to release on April 1st! And I suppose this is meant to be 2.6 :) I'd love to test but how to I get glib > 2.2.0? On my production systems running Debian/Etch all I have is glib 2.12.4-2 and I don't see any backport for it. Even Sid is at 2.16 I believe. Where can I get a version that meets the requirement to compile amanda-2.6 so that I can start testing it in my environment? jf > > > Source tarballs are available from > > * http://www.amanda.org > * https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=120 > > Binaries for many systems are available from > > * http://www.zmanda.com/download-amanda.php > > Documentation can be found at > > * http://wiki.zmanda.com > > > > Here's a list of the changes for release 6.2 (from the NEWS file): > Look at the ReleaseNotes and ChangeLog file for more details. > > * configure --disable-shared doesn't work because perl modules > require shared libraries.
