I have been muddling through a port of Bacula 1.36.3 on AMD64, since I did not see it in the ports tree in the first place. Although the Bacula authors claim that only the client (File Daemon) is known to operate on OpenBSD, I am operating the Storage Daemon and Director on my machine with no problems. (Caveat: this is a disk-only backup configuration, no tape drive is attached.) This port is now operating correctly, though I'm still working my way through the PLIST and other bits and pieces of extranea that are required to have an actual port. I'm still working my way through the checklist, but wanted to ask a couple of questions:
a) Based on the location of Amanda in the ports tree, I have tentatively placed this port in misc/. Should it be there? Perhaps there could be a "backup" category in the ports tree? b) Is anyone else currently working on porting this software? c) Bacula supports running certain daemons (director, storage daemon) as non-privileged users. I would like to assign a UID and GID to "_bacula". Is it better to do that now, or wait until the port is committed?
