Greetings everybody;

I just found a bit of a space waster in the way amanda installs its 
libraries.

I inserts the snapshot date into the main library name and then builds 
the links based on that.

Unforch, that had gone on un-noticed and I had a set of identical 
libraries in /usr/local/lib that amounted to around 50 megabytes 
worth.

So those with space constraints that are also building each snapshot 
should probably take a good look at your lib dirs and see if you've 
also have many copies of the amanda libraries that can be subjected 
to a quick game of space patrol, leaving only the newest dated ones.

I don't know if this is intentional, I suspect it was, but I fail to 
see any compelling reason for it.  Most of the time if a new snapshot 
fails, one can step back a snapshot and redo the make install to 
revert.

Discussion perhaps?
