It's nice to see this being packaged, even if only in contrib, but I
wonder what exactly is in it?  Is it vanilla amanda 2.4.2p2 or are
there any "feature enhancement" patches in it?

For instance, there is a patch to allow appending to a tape, so that
you can use a tape multiple times until it's full.  Also there is a
patch to fix a bug with tar's "socket ignored" message.

I have been running amanda (2.4.2p2) with the above 2 patches applied
for over a year now, no problems.  If you are not using either of them
and are interested in including them in your amanda RPM, I would be
happy to send them along.  I would love to be using the amanda from
the distro (even if it's contrib) rather than having to roll my own
RPM here.
