Please update amanda to latest stable 3.5.1 #274

Description

@priyadarshan

Would it please be possible to get an update for amanda? The most recent stable release is version 3.5.1, December 1, 2017.

There have been quite a bit of fixes since version 3.3.9, including better solaris compilation (if that matters).

I can help testing if needed (on SmartOS or OmniOS).

Thank you!

    Is there any particular reason holding this back?

    I could try to compile it myself in a OmniOS zone and report back, unless there are some serious showstoppers (I am not a build expert).

    Realistically things are only updated when people who are interested in them make that happen. One of the things that make this one a little trickier is that there are quite a lot of patches in the current pkgsrc version, and so someone who uses this software is going to need to go through them and figure out which are still required and which can be dropped.

    I'm more than happy to provide pkgsrc support to anyone interested in working on this, but it's unlikely to be something I will work on myself.

    I am definitely willing to try, although I am a absolute newbie and the "quite a lot of patches" part sounds a bit scary.

    I will try, using a pkgsrc zone on OmniOS and report back.
