Build it.

Seriously.

Right from the tar.gz

Get it from the link to a umontreal site near the bottom of the page 
at www.amanda.org.

Building and installing your own will make you much more familiar 
with how amanda works than installing a deb or rpm ever will.  That 
in turn leads to the familiarity that will allow you to confidently 
make adjustments as you optimise it for your own usages.

One hint.  Huge hint... As amanda is a slowly moving target from 
snapshot release to snapshot release, one way to maintain 
inter-version compatibility as you upgrade it from time to time is 
to make the configuration used at your site into a script that you 
just copy to the src tree of each new version.  That will save 
headaches in future time by way of making sure each new one can 
continue to run with the existing configurations, exactly as the 
older version ran, but with a bugfix or two in the new one.

Using this method I ran yesterdays snapshot last night, and it 
worked normally, or "great".  It only takes maybe 4 to 5 minutes 
(on a reasonably fast machine) to install each new one if you 
follow the right proceedure.
