Good morning!
I have just finished successfully building binary RPMs of Bacula 5.0.0
on CentOS 5.4, x86_64 architecture, and wanted to share some notes and a
couple of possible bugs (and workarounds).
I'm relatively new to Bacula and to building custom RPMs (I'm from a
Debian background mostly), so the following is not intended as gospel. I
just wanted to share what I've learned in the process and hopefully
offer some debugging contribs that can be refined by the experts.
I began with the source RPM from SourceForge, which installed with no
trouble once I met the prerequisites using yum.
I'd like to suggest that the spec file created during this process
should be renamed from bacula.spec to bacula-5.0.0.spec, because in my
case I was trying to keep an existing Bacula 3.0.3 build intact.
Luckily, I anticipated this file might be overwritten and had renamed it
manually first. But 3.0.3 and 5.0.0 both name the file "bacula.spec".
The client-only version failed to build because of the following error:
error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found
After some digging on Google, I made the following change to the spec
file to resolve the error ("diff -u" format):
--- bacula-5.0.0.spec.original 2010-02-03 05:57:36.000000000 -0500
+++ bacula-5.0.0.spec 2010-02-03 06:05:57.000000000 -0500

The client then built successfully using the following command:
rpmbuild --target=$(uname -m) --define build_centos5=1 \
--define build_client_only=1 \
-bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/bacula-5.0.0.spec
The server (with MySQL back-end) built successfully with this:
rpmbuild --target=$(uname -m) --define build_centos5=1 \
--define build_mysql=1 \
-bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/bacula-version.spec
However, in our situation we plan to run the database server on a
different host than the Bacula director. The binary RPM from above will
not install unless mysql-server is installed on the local host. I found
that commenting out the line "Requires: mysql-server" in the spec file
worked around this, though that is probably not a generalized solution
for all distributions.
Kind regards,
Scott
