Arch Linux User Repository

After botching a PostgreSQL upgrade (and successfully restoring from a Bareos backup), I decided to take the opportunity to upgrade this package to the latest Bareos. It was way more complex than I thought and I didn't feel comfortable adopting the package to potentially throw a wrench in the backup systems of unsuspecting users, but I do have a mostly complete PKGBUILD and patch files.

I have two patches formatted to be applied with git am to the current repo (commit 959a0859dfb7). Patch 1 updates Bareos to 25.0.1 and adds gcc14 as a dependency since I could not for the life of me figure out how to make Bareos build on gcc15, no amount of -Wno-error-s did the trick. It also updates the contained patches since the source files changed. Link to Patch 1

Patch 2 is where I'm feeling far less confident. For reasons I do not understand, the current PKGBUILD lists out every single file to be installed manually. I did my very best to update those, but it feels error prone. Here is a list of files that the Bareos install procedure creates, are NOT packaged, and that I didn't include in the PKGBUILD since I either couldn't figure out where they went or seemed to reference a module that didn't have a package currently. This patch, Link to Patch 2, includes all the updates to the packaging functions where I COULD figure out which package the files belonged to.

If anyone is brave enough to give it a go, let me know if I'm on the right track! It appears to be working, though I expect there are missing features that I don't know about since I have a simple use case. I'm sure there's some way that the original author generated all those install lines for specific files, but I have no idea how that was done and doing it manually is a pain.

Compilation fails complaining about "old-style-definition" and/or "old-style-declaration" in src/bareos/core/src/droplet/libdroplet/src/backend/cdmi/crcmodel.c

PKGBUILD should be updated adding "-Wno-error=old-style-declaration -Wno-error=old-style-definition" CMAKE flags

Thank you @LanceB98 - using the "old" gcc-14 was the solution for me.

Actually, what I did, was adding two lines to PGKBUILD (after installing gcc14):

I couldn't build this because of compiler errors after Arch upgraded to gcc15, but I was able to get around that by installing gcc14 and running export CC="/usr/bin/gcc-14" and export CXX="/usr/bin/g++-14" Before running makepkg.

Hi, here are fixes to compile with gcc14: https://github.com/elelay/aur-bareos/commit/57d2ff4393700bb5e29c36d9c95ff909eb4118d0 Thanks,

For getting the python version you can use something like _pyver=$(python -c "from sys import version_info; print(\"%d.%d\" % (version_info[0],version_info[1]))")

Hi, thanks for packaging bareos. I'm running juste the filedaemon on ArchLinux, but I noticed that during aur build it looks for python bindings in the wrong directory: it should be 3.11 now.

-python3_ver=3.10
+python3_ver=3.11
