These are forks only in terms of git/github-lingua. Any user there can
fork the zmanda/amanda-repo ... it doesn't mean at all that every member
of that list does meaningful work on amanda ...

In this instance, PM stands for "public message" ... they're all

I certainly don't have any objections, and I wasn't aware there were 
anywhere near that many choices.  Can you PM me a list?

FWIW, thats the first real update published since back in 2002, so I had 
to re-adjust my disklist and dumptypes to achieve an amanda version of a 
tarball to get that. I didn't figure the rest of the crowd needed to put 
up with a 500 meg backup of my configs and indices. Keeping ahead of tar 
was a bit of an exercise over the years, so this brings it up to at 
least the tar in the wheezy repo. And the tar in the pi's jessie repo 
seems to work. But a rock64 running stretch is crashed by it. Since the 
rock64 isn't doing anything for me yet, I haven't tried to snoop that 
out yet. A rock64 is a nice board, several times faster than the pi's, 
but support for anything like an rt kernel just isn't there, plus 
rebuilding the pi3b's spi driver to run on the rock64 is quite beyond 
my "pay grade". Without that its useless to me as I can't run cnc 
machinery with it.

Pick a repo, and move it to it, and of course let me know.  Oh, and what 
are the names of these other projects?

With BETSOL's attitude so far, I think my copyright notice will remain 
until such time as they actually want to be a "community" member. As 
long as they have thrown JLM under the buss, I for one am very unhappy. 
If they were going to put anyone on the payroll it should have been

Sure, why not ... I just want to avoid creating something noone
contributes to. Let's collect some opinions, decide and then collect
knowhow ;-)

Why not form a document git repo to house just Amanda docs?

Kind regards,
Chris

A small suggestion here:

instead of posting the script to the list over and over again (thanks
for doing so! no offense intended!) we could think of collecting
knowledge and tools like this and maybe provide stuff via a github-repo
or so (as done by other oss-projects ...).

Currently 57 forks of the zmanda/amanda repo exist, let's choose one and
commit our tricks etc there.

We can't wait for betsol afai see ...

Feedback welcome here.

(to be clear: I don't say "fork amanda" here, I just say "let's collect
the spread hints and tips shared via the mailing list and build up some
knowledge base there")

Additionally I think of adding and maintaining updated versions of the
vtapes-howto there etc
