Release 2.4.4-1
This release incorporates a number of significant changes since 1.38.
These release notes refer to the rpm packaging only.
Please refer to the release notes and changelog in the
tarball or on sourceforge for complete information on all changes.
*****************
* Miscellaneous *
*****************
Added build target for su111
Added nobuild_rescue switch to supress building the rescue package
Removed libtermcap dependency for fc9
Added build target for su110
Added build target for fc9
File location changes for compatibility with FHS.
Force stripping of binaries for SuSE packages.
Fixed bug 1037.
Added nobuild_mtx switch to supress build of mtx package.
Added missing files now required by the rescue configure script.
Corrected dist target for rhel5.
Corrected QT dependency name for RedHat flavors.
Added fix for RHEL5 64 bit QT paths.
Added build target for su103.
Added build targets for rhel5 and clones.
Build target added for Scientific Linux (RHEL clone) thanks to Jon
Peatfield.
Merged Otto Mueller's patch changing some directory locations for FHS
compatibility
but retaining the script directory as /etc/bacula.
gnome-console and wxconsole have been renamed to bgnome-console and
bwx-console
respectively.
***************************************************
* New Build Option to Install in Single Directory *
***************************************************
A new build define has been added which will build packages that install
most of the
files to /opt/bacula. Only the man pages, init scripts, logwatch and
menu entries are
installed to the root filesystem.
--define "single_dir_install 1"
*****************************************
* Buffer Overflow Error and Crash in fd *
*****************************************
Fedora 8/9 now set -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 as default compiler option. This
will probably be true on other platforms as they move to glibc >= 2.7.
This
causes a false "buffer overflow detected" error and crash in bacula-fd
and
other executables.
To avoid this problem a workaround for Redhat platforms is to set the
CFLAGS
in your ~/.rpmmacros file as follows:
# uncomment for bacula
#%__global_cflags -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0
-fno-exceptions -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-rtti
For SuSE platforms set as follows in your ~/.rpmrc file:
optflags: i586 -O2 -g -m32 -march=i586 -mtune=i686 -fmessage-length=0
-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0
optflags: x86_64 -O2 -g -fmessage-length=0 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0
See the discussion thread on bacula-devel for more information:
http://sourceforge.net/search/?ml_name=bacula-devel&type_of_search=mlists&group_id=50727&words=%22buffer+overflow+detected%22
***************************
* bat (Bacula Admin Tool) *
***************************
A new subpackage has been added for the new bat QT-based GUI
administration tool.
This requires QT >= 4.2
--define "build_bat 1"
If you encounter problems building the bat package on platforms where
you do have the proper QT4 support (QT >= 4.2) it may be necessary to
adjust your $QTDIR and $PATH variables. On Fedora 8/9 it was necessary
to:
export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt4;export PATH=/usr/lib/qt4/bin:$PATH;rpmbuild
blah...
As of 2.4.4 this should no longer be necessary as we sniff the paths
with pkgconfig.
*******************************************
* Gnome console dropped on some platforms *
*******************************************
The gconsole package has been dropped on older gnome platforms (gtk+ <
2.4).
Changes in the gnome api and code produced by Glade no longer build.
In addition, the tray monitor now fails to build on < 2.10 platforms.
gconsole is now not built on the following platforms:
rh7, rh8, rh9, rhel3 (and clones), fc1, fc3, fc4, mdk, su9, su10
********************************
* Third party packager support *
********************************
A new build tag added to support third party packagers to replace the
information in the Packager: tag in the rpm. Invoking
--define "contrib_packager Your Name <your-emm...@site.org>"
will substitute your packager identification.
Users interested in building packages for platforms not normally
published
should examine the platforms/contrib-rpm directory in the source code.
*******************************
* Option to build client only *
*******************************
A build define to build the client rpm package only added. This turns
off all database builds, gnome console and wxconsole.
--define "build_client_only 1"
************************
* Python support added *
************************
Support for compiling with python scripting support added. This is off
by default but can be enabled with:
--define "build_python 1"
Released binary packages are built with python support.
*******************
* Database update *
*******************
The 2.x release requires an update to the bacula database structure
from version 9 to version 10. A pre-install routine has been added to
check for databases older than 9. In that event the install will exit
with an error message indicating that the database must be updated to
version 9 before installing this upgrade. Scripts for updating older
database formats are available for download in the bacula-updatedb
rpm package. In the event a version 9 database is detected a
post-install
routine will update the database after creating a backup file in the
bacula working directory.
******************
* SQLite Upgrade *
******************
For users of the sqlite package, from 2.2.7 onward sqlite3 replaces
sqlite2. Your sqlite2 database file (/var/lib/bacula/bacula.db) is not
compatible with sqlite3. During an upgrade the pre-install script will
check for this situation. If found it will dump your catalog data to
the
file /var/lib/bacula/bacula_backup.sql, rename your old catalog file to
/var/lib/bacula/bacula.db.old, and exit. You should then re-run the rpm
upgrade. After the upgrade is complete restore your catalog data with
the following commands (as root):
/etc/bacula/drop_sqlite3_tables
cd /var/lib/bacula
/usr/lib/bacula/sqlite/sqlite3 $* bacula.db < bacula_backup.sql
chown bacula.bacula bacula.db

# Mandrake 10.x build
--define "build_mdk 1"
# Mandriva build
--define "build_mdv 1"
**************************
* Database build options *
**************************
Database support (must select one or build client only)
MySQL support:
--define "build_mysql 1"
# OR if using mysql 4.x define this
# currently: Mandrake 10.x, SuSE 9.x & 10.0, RHEL4, fc4
--define "build_mysql4 1"
# OR if using mysql 5.x define this
# currently: SuSE 10.1 and higher, fc5 and higher
--define "build_mysql5 1"
PostgreSQL support:
--define "build_postgresql 1"
Sqlite support:
--define "build_sqlite 1"
***********************
* Other build options *
***********************
Supress building the rescue files:
--define "nobuild_rescue 1"

--define "nobuild_gconsole 1"
Enable X86-64 support
--define "build_x86_64 1"
This build switch remains but should no longer be necessary. The
configure script
was adjusted in the 1.39 development series to correctly detect the

64 bit libraries.
