Gene, thanks so much for testing! I'll see what I can do about the crash. On Tue, Dec 2, 2008 at 7:49 PM, Bruce Thompson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > What are the requirements [for Platform Experts]? Basically, be willing to install beta versions of Amanda (not in production) and run them through their paces, and work out any kinks along the way. In detail, this means building from source, possibly after applying a patch or two, running the installchecks, and then running some test dumps and recoveries. For platforms we-the-developers are less familiar with, some platform-specific wisdom is also helpful. For example, Scott Bender helped test the last release on HP/UX, and his experience with building other applications on that platform was invaluable. Such experts are also the people I look to for help when someone posts platform-specific questions to the list. Dustin -- Storage Software Engineer http://www.zmanda.com
