Bacula-1.38 RPM Release Notes 06 May 2006 D. Scott Barninger <barninger at fairfieldcomputers dot com>
The Gnome2 console currently will not build on older versions of Gtk2 (< 2.4) so you will see some missing gconsole packages. You _should_ be able to keep your gconsole package at 1.38.8 without problems if you upgrade since this release only incorporates minor bug fixes. If you are rebuilding the src rpm use the nobuild_gconsole switch. Release 1.38.9-1 This release incorporates a number of significant changes. These release notes refer to the rpm packaging only. Please refer to the release notes and changelog in the tarball or on sourceforge for complete information on all changes. *************************** * WXWindows console added * *************************** A new package bacula-wxconsole has been added. Building this requires wxGTK >=2.6 currently available on SuSE 10.0 and Fedora Core 4. ************************************* * Fix for daemon user/group problem * ************************************* Prior to the 1.38.8 release the pre-install scripts attempted to create the user bacula with primary group as both bacula and disk which failed. There was still a problem with these scripts in 1.38.8, noted in bug 605, on RedHat platforms which by default attempt to create a group with same name as the user (bacula) and failed because it had already been created. This has (I think) now been corrected with the addition of the -g parameter to the useradd commands and should work. ****************************************** * Build switch to turn off gnome console * ****************************************** If you do not wish to build gnome console --define "nobuild_gconsole 1" when rebuilding the srpm. ************** * Mtx change * ************** Mtx is no longer included in the server package, but is packaged separately for systems without an mtx package. ******************* * Database update * ******************* The 1.38 release requires an update to the bacula database structure from version 8 to version 9. A pre-install routine has been added to check for databases older than 8. In that event the install will exit with an error message indicating that the database must be updated to version 8 before installing this upgrade. Scripts for updating older database formats are available for download in the bacula-updatedb rpm package. In the event a version 8 database is detected a post-install routine will update the database after creating a backup file in the bacula working directory. ************************* * Rescue package change * ************************* The cdrom rescue scripts are now included in the 3 server and client packages and the bacula-rescue package is obsoleted. You should uninstall bacula-rescue if installed before upgrading. ****************** * Platform Notes * ****************** RedHat 7.x gconsole package is eliminated with this release due to the elimination of support for gnome 1. The spec file currently supports building on the following platforms: # RedHat builds --define "build_rh7 1" --define "build_rh8 1" --define "build_rh9 1" # Fedora Core build --define "build_fc1 1" --define "build_fc3 1" --define "build_fc4 1" # Whitebox Enterprise build --define "build_wb3 1" # RedHat Enterprise builds --define "build_rhel3 1" --define "build_rhel4 1" # CentOS build --define "build_centos3 1" --define "build_centos4 1" # SuSE build --define "build_su9 1" --define "build_su10 1" # Mandrake 10.x build --define "build_mdk 1" # Mandriva build --define "build_mdv 1" *********************** * Other build options * *********************** Database support (must select one) MySQL support: --define "build_mysql 1" # OR if using mysql 4.x define this # currently: Mandrake 10.x, SuSE 9.x & 10.x, RHEL4, fc4 --define "build_mysql4 1" PostgreSQL support: --define "build_postgresql 1" Sqlite support: --define "build_sqlite 1" Supress build of Gnome Console: --define "nobuild_gconsole 1" Enable X86-64 support --define "build_x86_64 1" Enable wxconsole: --define "build_wxconsole 1" ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
