Again, these instructions are based on Bareos version 17.2.5, so would need to be adjusted appropriately for other versions and I’m working exclusively with 64-bit (amd64) versions.

Before we start, lets make sure that everything is up to date:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

Before we start building anything, we’ll need to install all of the dependencies which are required in order to build the .deb packages. We’ll use the libfastlz and libfastlz-dev packages from the Bareos repositories:

apt-get install build-essential acl-dev autotools-dev bc chrpath debhelper libacl1-dev libcap-dev libjansson-dev liblzo2-dev libqt4-dev libreadline-dev libssl-dev libwrap0-dev libx11-dev libsqlite3-dev libmysqlclient-dev libpq-dev mtx ncurses-dev pkg-config po-debconf python-dev zlib1g-dev glusterfs-common librados-dev libcephfs-dev apache2-dev apache2 autoconf automake python-all python-setuptools
wget http://download.bareos.org/bareos/release/17.2/xUbuntu_16.04/amd64/libfastlz_0.1-7.2_amd64.deb
wget http://download.bareos.org/bareos/release/17.2/xUbuntu_16.04/amd64/libfastlz-dev_0.1-7.2_amd64.deb
dpkg -i libfastlz_0.1-7.2_amd64.deb libfastlz-dev_0.1-7.2_amd64.deb

Now let’s download the Bareos source code the various repositories on GitHub and extract it ready for building:

wget https://github.com/bareos/bareos/archive/Release/17.2.5.tar.gz -qO – | tar zx
wget https://github.com/bareos/bareos-webui/archive/Release/17.2.5.tar.gz -qO – | tar zx
wget https://github.com/bareos/python-bareos/archive/Release/17.2.5.tar.gz -qO – | tar zx

Before starting the build, we need to create a changelog file which contains information used by the build process. Use your favourite text editor to put the below into ~/bareos-Release-17.2.5/debian/changelog:

bareos (17.2.5-0) stable; urgency=low

* Bareos 17.2.5 release; https://www.bareos.org/en/news/bareos-17-2-5-maintenance-version-released.html

— Your Name <your@email.address> Thu, 16 Mar 2018 10:58:00 +0000

Once that’s done, you can start the build process:

cd ~/bareos-Release-17.2.5/
fakeroot debian/rules binary

Now we just need to repeat this process for the bareos-webui package. Use your favourite text editor to create the ~/bareos-webui-Release-17.2.5/debian/changelog file containing the below:

bareos-webui (17.2.5-0) stable; urgency=low

* Bareos 17.2.5 release; https://www.bareos.org/en/news/bareos-17-2-5-maintenance-version-released.html

— Your Name <your@email.address> Thu, 16 Mar 2018 10:58:00 +0000

Unlike the main bareos repository, the debian/rules file isn’t executable by default in the code from bareos-webui repository, so we need to set that before we can start the build process:

cd ~/bareos-webui-Release-17.2.5/
chmod +x debian/rules
fakeroot debian/rules binary

Finally we need to build the python-bareos package. Use your favourite text editor to create the ~/python-bareos-Release-17.2.5/debian/changelog file containing the below:

python-bareos (17.2.5-0) stable; urgency=low

* Bareos 17.2.5 release; https://www.bareos.org/en/news/bareos-17-2-5-maintenance-version-released.html

— Your Name <your@email.address> Thu, 16 Mar 2018 10:58:00 +0000

Then it’s just the usual commands to start the build process:

cd ~/python-bareos-Release-17.2.5/
fakeroot debian/rules binary

You should now have all of the .deb package files in your home directory which you can install locally or host in your own APT repository.

The post Building Bareos RPMs on Ubuntu 16.04 first appeared on Spheron1.

These instructions are based on Bareos version 17.2.5, so would need to be adjusted appropriately for other versions. I’m also working exclusively with 64-bit (x86_64) versions.

Before we start, lets make sure that everything is up to date:

yum -y update

If you don’t already have the EPEL repository installed, then install it as we’ll need it for the jansson-devel and libcmocka-devel build dependancies:

yum -y install  epel-release

Now install everything needed to build the RPMs. We’ll use the libdroplet, libdroplet-devel, libfastlz and libfastlz-devel packages from the Bareos repositories.

On CentOS 6:

It’s a good idea to run the build under an unprivileged user. I’ve set up a dedicated user called “build” for this, but any normal user account will do.
Let’s set up the build environment and download the Bareos source code from the various repositories on GitHub:

useradd build
su – build
mkdir -p ~/rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS}
echo ‘%_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild’ > ~/.rpmmacros
wget https://github.com/bareos/bareos/archive/Release/17.2.5.tar.gz -O bareos-17.2.5.tar.gz
tar xf bareos-17.2.5.tar.gz
mv bareos-Release-17.2.5/ bareos-17.2.5
tar zcf bareos-17.2.5.tar.gz bareos-17.2.5
mv bareos-17.2.5/platforms/packaging/bareos.spec ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/
rm -rf bareos-17.2.5
mv bareos-17.2.5.tar.gz ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/
wget https://github.com/bareos/bareos-webui/archive/Release/17.2.5.tar.gz -O bareos-webui-17.2.5.tar.gz
mv 17.2.5.tar.gz bareos-webui-17.2.5.tar.gz
tar xf bareos-webui-17.2.5.tar.gz
mv bareos-webui-Release-17.2.5/ bareos-webui-17.2.5
tar zcf bareos-webui-17.2.5.tar.gz bareos-webui-17.2.5
mv bareos-webui-17.2.5/packaging/obs/bareos-webui.spec ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/
rm -rf bareos-webui-17.2.5
mv bareos-webui-17.2.5.tar.gz ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/
wget https://github.com/bareos/python-bareos/archive/Release/17.2.5.tar.gz -O python-bareos-17.2.5.tar.gz
tar xf python-bareos-17.2.5.tar.gz
mv python-bareos-Release-17.2.5/ python-bareos-17.2.5
tar zcf python-bareos-17.2.5.tar.gz python-bareos-17.2.5
mv python-bareos-17.2.5/packaging/python-bareos.spec ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/
rm -rf python-bareos-17.2.5
mv python-bareos-17.2.5.tar.gz ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/

Edit the ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/bareos.spec file in your favourite text editor and set “Version” (line 8) to “17.2.5” as well as “Release” (line 9) to “0%{?dist}”.
You also need to search for “BuildRequires: libqt4-devel” (line 186) and replace it with “BuildRequires: qt-devel”.

By default, GlusterFS and Droplet support isn’t built on CentOS 6 for some reason, so if you want them then you need to edit “%define glusterfs 0” and “%define objectstorage 0” (lines 45 and 46) and set them to 1.

Now you’d ready to run the build itself. On CentOS 6:

rpmbuild -ba ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/bareos.spec –define “centos_version 600”

And on CentOS 7:

rpmbuild -ba ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/bareos.spec –define “centos_version 700”

Once this finishes, you should find a collection of several Bareos RPMs in ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/. We need the bareos-common package installed for build the Web UI, so become root and install it.

On CentOS 6:

yum -y install /home/build/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/bareos-common-17.2.5-0.el6.x86_64.rpm

On CentOS 7:

yum -y install /home/build/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/bareos-common-17.2.5-0.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm

Next, edit the ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/bareos-webui.spec file in your favourite text editor and set “Version” (line 4) to “17.2.5”.

Now you’d ready to build the Web UI package:

rpmbuild -ba ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/bareos-webui.spec

Finally, edit ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/python-bareos.spec in your favourite text editor and set “Version” (line 21) to “17.2.5” as well as “Release” (line 22) to “0%{?dist}” and build the final package:

rpmbuild -ba ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/python-bareos.spec

You should now have the full compliment of RPMs in ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/ and ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/.

If you need to rebuild the RPMs for the same version of Bareos for any reason, then you should increment the value of Release in the relevant .spec file by 1 each time (e.g. “1%{?dist}”, “2%{?dist}” etc.).

You can now GPG sign your RPMs if you want and then add them to your own central yum repository with createrepo or just directly install them locally with rpm.
