2006-05-14 Thread Michael Weiser
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
