Re: release of amanda-2.6.1

Paddy, thanks.  I tried to create a suse binary 11.1 rpm as I did for 2.6.0p2,
but it failed.  After an "rpm -i amanda-2.6.1-1.rhel4.src.rpm", I did
the rpmbuild:

"
contrib@fiume:~/done/RPMs/amanda> sudo rpmbuild -ba 
/usr/src/packages/SPECS/amanda.spec

I could see that the amanda.spec file had the definition for suse 11.1 in it,
but not all as was in Ingo's amanda.spec file for 2.6.0p2.  So I modified the
new amanda.spec file as follows:
"
fiume:/usr/src/packages/SPECS # rcsdiff -r1.1 -r1.2 amanda.spec 
===================================================================
RCS file: RCS/amanda.spec,v
retrieving revision 1.1
retrieving revision 1.2
diff -r1.1 -r1.2
129c129,131
<           %define distver 11.1
---
>           %define dist SuSE
>           %define disttag suse
>           %define distver 11
"

With this modification, the rpmbuild compiled and came to a normal end,
but I am of course not sure this is all to it.  Not have I yet installed
the 2.6.1 version.

Regards,

Charles
