2: Spec file wants a Release_Notes-1.37.38-1.tar.gz file. I couldn't
find that, so I just tar'd up the Release Notes file into a file with
that name and put in the right spot for rpm to find it. That worked and
I was able to get a little further.
Exactly what i did :-)
3: The patches for the bundled sqlite scripts fail
patching file src/cats/make_catalog_backup.in
Hunk #3 FAILED at 20.
Hunk #4 succeeded at 30 (offset 4 lines).
1 out of 4 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file
src/cats/make_catalog_backup.in.rej
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.61710 (%build)
Yup, i had the same problem
But i`m also only building packages for client-systems so i removed the
patches from the spec file.
I think you can safely ommit those patches if you are not running
SQLLite. If you are using MySQL or PGSQL for your database the only
thing that would need changing post-install is the make_catalog_backup
file - you have to adjust the path to the mysql/pgsql executable ...
For more clarity go to /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/bacula-1.37.38/src/cats/
and look at the rejected-file and the patch file, it`s just a minor
change that produces the error (patch file pointing to wrong line i think)
After that i was only having some trouble with the tray-monitor which i
also don`t need so i removed the --with-tray-monitor option from the
configure in the specfile.

[Bacula-users] Serious question! Recycle versus wishful thinking...
Alright people, I seriously need an explanation here.
You have X volumes, which are each retained for Y retention time.
You can add another volume by labelling it.
If no free volume is available, and Recycle is enabled, Bacula should
recycle the oldest volume that is past the retention time, right?
Why wouldn't it?
And why would it add a non-existant volume to the media list, give it a name
(even though it has no physical existance) and ask you to mount it?
Wishful thinking?
The relevant sections of my configuration are quoted below. I may have
gotten something wrong, but it appears that the documentation is seriously
misleading in this regard.

Okay, bacula seems to do two things that I believe are configured to not

1. It isn't recycling a volume that is way past it's retension time

controlled by LabelMedia ? That's a fairly misleading function...
Someone clue me in where I'm going wrong here?

Without actually going through your configuration:

Right. All volumes are used, this is the oldest. Recycling is the only
possible/sensible option.
Your best thing to do might be to limit the number of volumes in the
pools. After that, bacula will reuse the existing volumes when the
available space fills.
limit the number of volumes in the pools - that limitation would be
obviously done by not creating any new volumes, right?
What confuses me is this Oh, I'll just make up a new volume approach.
Where does it expect this new volume to be? There is no such labeled
volume. (and changing LabelMedia didn't help either)

I have tried adding it to sessions but it does not start, if I double click the executable from /etc/bacula is starts ok and im able to start it from a terminal prompt but cannot get it to start automatically on system start. How do I do this? I can't give you a detailed answer, but I suppose that vnc, when it starts a session, either starts an X session or it has it's own X included. In the former case, the scripts that set up these sessions have lots of hooks to start other programs - systemwide or user-specific ones. That's where I'd look... Or, if you have a vnc server with integrated X, then this one might have it's own startup files - here, with TightVNC, this is .vnc/xstartup. If you need to know more details about how xvnc starts an X server or which startup files your X server uses,you should read the accompanying manuals, because this is quite system- and distribution-specific. And, of course, you need to know which flavour of vnc you use - as far as I know there are some quite different things available.
