That's because I haven't added them to contribs yet, they still need some more work (getting the lib stuff right) from a packaging point of view. We are using them on 2 servers so far (one 8.2, one 8.0) with more to come ... looks good so far.

But I think that we can follow the dynamic library way of linking. This does mean, that no more than one unversioned static library can be installed at the same time. Which is not really a problem, since you only need this to build stuff, not run stuff. > [bgmilne bgmilne]$ rpm -qlp rpm/RPMS/i586/amanda-2.4.2p2-1mdk.i586.rpm > /etc/amanda > /etc/amandates > /usr/lib/libamanda-2.4.2p2.so > /usr/lib/libamanda.so > /usr/lib/libamtape-2.4.2p2.so > /usr/lib/libamtape.so > /usr/sbin/amrestore > /usr/share/man/man8/amrestore.8.bz2 > /var/lib/amanda/.amandahosts > /var/lib/lib/amanda > It would seem that it would be reasonable to use 2.4.2p2 as the library version. You'll probably need to put some extra hacks here and there, e.g. if ldd'ing a program linked to libamanda the output that it's linked to libamanda.so and not libamanda-2.4.2p2.so (yes, using nonstandard naming may confuse the linker) then you'll probably need to hack around it somehow, as programs built with 2.4.2p2 may not be binary compatible with programs built on say, a previous version. -- Geoff.

These are the two RPMs (of the 4 amanda RPMs that are running on our production servers) that need some libification: [bgmilne bgmilne]$ rpm -qlp rpm/RPMS/i586/amanda-devel-2.4.2p2-1mdk.i586.rpm /usr/lib/libamanda.a /usr/lib/libamanda.la /usr/lib/libamclient.a /usr/lib/libamclient.la /usr/lib/libamserver.a /usr/lib/libamserver.la /usr/lib/libamtape.a /usr/lib/libamtape.la [bgmilne bgmilne]$ rpm -qlp rpm/RPMS/i586/amanda-2.4.2p2-1mdk.i586.rpm /etc/amanda /etc/amandates /usr/lib/libamanda-2.4.2p2.so /usr/lib/libamanda.so /usr/lib/libamtape-2.4.2p2.so /usr/lib/libamtape.so /usr/sbin/amrestore /usr/share/man/man8/amrestore.8.bz2 /var/lib/amanda/.amandahosts /var/lib/lib/amanda Hack the makefile? Arbitrarily name the lib package to 0? I have asked about the use of unversioned libs on the amanda mailing list to no avail so far ...

[Cooker] What to do with unversioned libraries (amanda) ?
I have got an RPM for amanda (based on the RedHat one), which we are using in production now (with the mtx that just went in to cooker). Amanda has unversioned libraries though, and rpmlint gives a lot of errors regarding this. What should I do regarding this then? Try and patch it to have versioned libraries (with packages libamada[0-9] and libamanda[0-9]-devel ?) or leave them unversioned (with packages libamanda and libamanda-devel).
