Since google is your friend, if you had searched for "gentoo amanda-client", |
| 2 |
you would've found some more information. "amanda-client" as your only |
| 3 |
search keyword returns some distros that have seperate server/client |
| 4 |
packages (like Debian, FreeBSD, OpenBSD). But these seem to be, if these |
| 5 |
packages are still active, distro-created seperate packages. If you look at |
| 6 |
the official website (http://amanda.org), you will see that even the |
| 7 |
official releases don't have seperate server/client packages. The |
| 8 |
server/client all come in the same gzipped tar file. Now, if you were to |
| 9 |
request an ebuild for the client be made (I checked |
| 10 |
bugs.gentoo.org<http://bugs.gentoo.org>, |
| 11 |
nothing there mentioning a client-only version), or possibly a specific use |
| 12 |
flag for the ebuild (say amandaserver), someone might be happy enough to |
| 13 |
make one for you (or you can always nudge the package maintainer). |
