Greetings;

I was just now going to build and install this version for tonights
run, but I think not:

This is not a stable release of Amanda.  It is just a random snapshot
taken from the CVS tree.  It was not tested at all, and it may not
even build on some platforms.  It is recommended that it is only used
for testing purposes.  Use it at your own risk.  If you find any
problems with it, please report to amanda-hackers AT amanda DOT org.  Before
posting, you may want to check whether the problem remains unfixed in
newer snapshots.  Patches (along with ChangeLog entries) are welcome.

taper.c:2483:37: error: macro "dbprintf" passed 2 arguments, but takes just 1
taper.c: In function ‘write_file’:
taper.c:2483: error: ‘dbprintf’ undeclared (first use in this function)
taper.c:2483: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
taper.c:2483: error: for each function it appears in.)
make[1]: *** [taper.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/amanda/amanda-2.5.1p3-20070410/server-src'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

So it appears the remark in the .configure is correct. :-)
