Building 2.4.3b4 raised once again a question in my mind. There are several things amanda/configure checks for for which there could be several choices on the same machine. Some of these have configure options to select the builders preference. Others can be hand-tuned in config.h. Here are just 3 examples:
file locking -- flock, fcntl, or file based db format -- text, db, gdbm, ndbm, ... ipc -- shared memory or memory mapped files (mmap) How does one choose one facility vs. another. What are the pros and cons of flock vs. fcntl locking. Or shm vs mmap. Or ... 'bout time to update from 2.4.2, so I might as well get it right this time :)) -- Jon H.
