Thanks for spotting that JoKoT3. Bumping to 3.3.3 as well.

The link given in post_install is deprecated and recommend reading http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Getting_Started_With_Amanda instead.

$HELPER is unofficial and unsupported as part of the AUR. $HELPER needs to work with PKGBUILD's, not PKGBUILD's made to work with $HELPER. I'm going to post to the AUR ML to get some advice from TU's to see if there's a recommended/suggested way to deal with this scenario.

It is fair point fukawi. Nevertheless, given that the aur package will be installed normally with helpers like yaourt run as user, it may be helpful checking weather sudo is configured or run as root; otherwise rise a warning (yaourt will fail otherwise with a PAM authentication failure that could be confusing). What do you think ?

fukawi2 commented on 2012-12-19 22:05 (UTC)

No everyone has sudo installed and configured. If it could be installed without configuration, I'd consider adding it as a makedepends but since it requires configuration too, I think requiring root is easier.

fukawi, you may want to add sudo to useradd/userdel/groupadd/groupdel in INSTALL and PKGBUILD

@fukawi2: I wonder how do you manage to build amanda on the same platform (x86_64) as both juantascon and myself and/or whether you test your builds before updating it?
