I have about 30 Mac OS X (10.3, 10.4, 10.5) computers/servers I am
installing Amanda on but I am finding that the process of
installation (for which I've scripted so there's not a whole lot I
have to do), will take up to three hours on a slower machine because
of the need to install Xcode, MacPorts, and Amanda. The biggest
time consumer happens to be the installation of Xcode and
Macports. While I am sure there are some libraries needed, has
anyone created (or have some tips on) a completely static, fully
bundled libraries version of amanda which could be installed within
20-30 minutes rather than 2-3 hours?
I've not done this with Amanda per se, but I've done it with other
software, so I think it should work with Amanda.
Assuming you have the MacPorts libraries needed by Amanda (mainly
glib2) already installed in /opt/local, you could tar this directory
up and push it to your clients and unpack it remotely. We use Apple
Remote Desktop to do such tasks. (ARD obviates the need to set up SSH
keys, so it's a faster setup, although costlier.)
