Bacula-3.0 RPM Release Notes 02 May 2009 D. Scott Barninger <barninger at fairfieldcomputers dot com>
Release 3.0.1-1 This release incorporates a number of significant changes since 2.0. 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 switch to pass Distribution tag: --define "DISTNAME Distribution Name" Building rescue files is now off by default as it doesn't work and as of this release the static fd won't build for me. Thus the nobuild_rescue switch is replaced by build_rescue. 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 This problem should now be fixed in source but the project still recommends -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0. *************************** * 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. As of 3.0.0 Gnome console and WX console are deprecated in favor of bat. ******************************************* * 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 ******************* * Database update * ******************* The 3.x release requires an update to the bacula database structure from version 10 to version 11. A pre-install routine will check for databases older than 10. In that event the install will exit with an error message indicating that the database must be updated to version 10 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 10 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 ****************** * Platform Notes * ****************** The spec file currently supports building on the following platforms: # RedHat builds --define "build_rh7 1" --define "build_rh8 1" --define "build_rh9 1" # Fedora Core build --define "build_fc1 1" --define "build_fc3 1" --define "build_fc4 1" --define "build_fc5 1" --define "build_fc6 1" --define "build_fc7 1" --define "build_fc8 1" --define "build_fc9 1" # Whitebox Enterprise build --define "build_wb3 1" # RedHat Enterprise builds --define "build_rhel3 1" --define "build_rhel4 1" --define "build_rhel5 1" # CentOS build --define "build_centos3 1" --define "build_centos4 1" --define "build_centos5 1" # Scientific Linux build --define "build_sl3 1" --define "build_sl4 1" --define "build_sl5 1" # SuSE build --define "build_su9 1" --define "build_su10 1" --define "build_su102 1" --define "build_su103 1" --define "build_su110 1" --define "build_su111 1" # 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 * *********************** Supply a distribution name --define "DISTNAME Distribution Name" Build the rescue files: --define "build_rescue 1" Install to /opt/bacula: --define "single_dir_install 1" Supress build of mtx package: --define "nobuild_mtx 1" Supress build of Gnome Console: --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 location of 64 bit libraries. Enable wxconsole: --define "build_wxconsole 1" Enable bat: --define "build_bat 1" Enable python support: --define "build_python 1" Build the client package only: --define "build_client_only 1" ********************************** * Current binary package support * ********************************** D.
