[Box Backup] BoxBackup 0,08 SUSE Linux packages

[Chris Smith]

Good Afternoon,

I've spent this morning and a few hours yesterday altering Martin's 
.spec file and creating specific init scripts for SUSE Linux. These 
RPM's were built and compiled on SUSE Linux 9.0 but included is the spec 
file and custom init scripts which should work from SUSE 8.0 to SUSE 
9.1, you just need to build them yourself!

These packages are available from: 
http://nothingbutnet.co.nz/boxbackup-suse/9.0/boxbackup-client-0.08-1.i586.rpm
http://nothingbutnet.co.nz/boxbackup-suse/9.0/boxbackup-server-0.08-1.i586.rpm

The SUSE init scripts are available here: 
http://nothingbutnet.co.nz/boxbackup-suse/bbackupd
http://nothingbutnet.co.nz/boxbackup-suse/bbstored

The modified .spec is available here:
http://nothingbutnet.co.nz/boxbackup-suse/boxbackup.spec

The Source RPM including all of the above is available here:
http://nothingbutnet.co.nz/boxbackup-suse/boxbackup-0.08-1.src.rpm

KNOWN BUGS: The install process doesn't create the "box" user for the 
server daemon. Generates error but can be ignored as it runs as root 
instead. So it doesn't break things, just makes it possibly insecure.

Martin: Inside your .spec you reference a variable "%{backup_dir}" which 
wasn't set causing the adduser command to fail (quietly, but user isn't 
added). What is that variable supposed to be?

These RPM's have had a little bit of testing, but nothing extensive. 
Please report all SUSE packaging related bugs to me :)

Kind regards,
Chris Smith.
