Hi,
I had tried posting this to the cygwin-apps list, but it would appear that maybe I can't do that. So I'll post it hear for comment.
For a while I had been interested in the Amanda package, but hadn't had the time to look into it. I recently had reason to investigate it further so decided to look at making a version available for cygwin. Here are some of my efforts to get a full version (server & client) of Amanda running on cygwin.
Version of amanda for cygwin.
Available for gentoo: http://packages.gentoo.org/package/app-backup/amanda
Available for debian: http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/amanda-server
The version 3.3.2 is the latest stable version.
sdesc: "AMANDA Network Backup program"
ldesc: "AMANDA, the Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver,
is a backup solution that allows the IT administrator to set up a single
master backup server to back up multiple hosts over network to tape
drives/changers or disks or optical media. Amanda uses native utilities
and formats (e.g. dump and/or GNU tar) and can back up a large number of
servers and workstations running multiple versions of Linux or Unix.
Amanda uses a native Windows client to back up Microsoft Windows desktops
and servers."
category: Backup
requires: bash bzip2 gzip xz tar perl libffi4 libgcc1 libglib2.0_0 libiconv2 libint18 libncursesw10 libpcre1 libreadline7 libssp0 cygwin
wget \
http://my-cygwin-amanda.googlecode.com/files/setup.hint \
http://my-cygwin-amanda.googlecode.com/files/amanda-3.3.2-4.tar.bz2 \
http://my-cygwin-amanda.googlecode.com/files/amanda-3.3.2-4-src.tar.bz2
NOTE: The current version of tar (1.25) available from cygwin is broken and doesn't work for amanda :-( I've created a patch for the 1.26 version of tar to create a working amanda installation on my machine. Not sure how to get the current maintainer to update the official version to 1.26.
The packages is currently setup as server and client together. I haven't tried splitting it into parts like debian does.

From <http://cygwin.com/lists.html>:
cygwin-apps: a subscriber-only list for discussing packaging issues
regarding applications that are distributed with the Cygwin DLL. If you are
maintaining or volunteering to maintain one of the packages that is
distributed with the Cygwin net releases you should be subscribed to this list.

If it's a general problem with tar, you'll want to contact the upstream
maintainer.

From <http://cygwin.com/setup.html#submitting>
Submitting a new package:
So you've got a package you want to submit. Follow the following checklist before emailing the cygwin-apps mailing list and you'll almost certainly save time.
Propose on the cygwin-apps mailing list that you are interested in becoming a package maintainer for package "foo" using a subject like "[ITP] foo 0.10". Some packages cannot be distributed via Cygwin's setup due to vendor licence limitations. Other packages may not be appropriate for Cygwin. This step will save time if, for some reason, we cannot accept the package.
So, you might appreciate why I was confused thinking that I should email the cygwin-apps list. I read (later) that it was a subscriber-only list and emailed to this list instead. I'm guessing that there might need to be some updates to the website
to reflect the correct process.
If there is a more up-to-date set of instructions on how to contribute to Cygwin, please re-direct me. I've used cygwin for
years and thought I should take the opportunity to give back to the community if I can.

It is a problem with tar version 1.25 which is the current cygwin version. The fix is in version 1.26.
Just need to re-package 1.26 for cygwin.

I'm not sure what your confusion is but both of the above tell you to
send intent-to-package announcements to cygwin-apps. One says "propose
on the cygwin-apps mailing list". The other says for "maintaining or
*volunteering to maintain*".

I posted to that list and got zip. No messages got through. No response
from the list owner. So the confusion was that it says to post there, but I was
not able to do so. I was subscribed to the list and getting messages others
sent to it.
Message through now - thanks to Marco for being helpful.

Yeah, saw your complaint to cygwin-apps.
Your professed inability to send email to cygwin-apps does not imply
"there might need to be some updates to the website to reflect the
correct process".
Anyway, now that you are sending email to the right place, lets close
this thread.
