Release 1.32f-4
This release incorporates the 1.32f-1-weekofmonth,
1.32f-2-eom-nextvol, 1.32f-3-win32-permissions and
1.32f-4-run-crash patches. This includes a patch for the rpm 
build to correct an incorrect bindir for the sqlite builds 
in the script /etc/bacula/create_sqlite_database. The post
install routine for the sqlite package has also been corrected
to execute this script which was previously missing.

Please refer to the release notes and changelog in the
tarball for complete information on all changes.

*************************************************************
*This rpm release contains some important changes from 1.32d*
*************************************************************

The platform designator (rh7, rh8, rh9) has been
REMOVED from the package names as this was creating
some problems. Hence, you CAN NOT upgrade existing
1.32d installations with these packages (rpm -U).

To upgrade:
1. Backup your configuration files (/etc/bacula/*.conf)
"just to be safe."
2. Uninstall the old bacula package, ie.
rpm -e bacula-mysql-rh9
If you are not sure what package name is installed do
rpm -qa | grep bacula
3. Install the new package with rpm -i

In addition, the spec file has been reworked to include a
platform configuration section at the beginning of the file.
To rebuild the SRPM, first install using rpm -i then edit
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS/bacula.spec (or whatever directory
structure your platform uses) to set platform options and
select whether to build MySQL support. You can also pass
any of the defines on the command line as before.

*****************************
*Rescue script package notes*
*****************************

This release officially includes the rescue package.
This package installs scripts for disaster recovery and 
builds rescue floppy disks for bare metal recovery. This 
package includes tomsrtbt (http://www.toms.net/rb/, by 
Tom Oehser, [email protected]) to provide a tool to build a 
boot floppy disk. This package is platform independant as
it only includes shell scripts and a static file daemon.
The tomsrtbt package requires the libc5 compat libraries, 
available at
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/contrib/libc6/i386/libc5-5.4.38-3.i386.rpm

You need to have the bacula-sqlite, bacula-mysql or 
bacula-client package for your platform installed and 
configured before installing this package. All of these
packages will supply the virtual package bacula-fd which is
a requirement for the rescue package.

After installing the scripts, rpm will run the getdiskinfo 
script to create the necessary information for your installation. 

To create a boot floppy using this information run
./make_rescue_disk --copy-static-bacula --copy-etc-files
from the /etc/bacula/rescue directory.

To recreate the disk information run
./getdiskinfo 
from the /etc/bacula/rescue directory.
