IBM's Tivoli/SpectrumProtect packages for Debian can be improved. I did.
IBM offers .deb packages of its Tivoli client (version 8.1.6.1), although Tivoli now seems to have a new name: Spectrum Protect. Unpacking the tar archive gives the following files:
README.htm
README_api.htm
gskcrypt64_8.0-50.78.linux.x86_64.deb
gskssl64_8.0-50.78.linux.x86_64.deb
tivsm-api64.amd64.deb
tivsm-apicit.amd64.deb
tivsm-ba.amd64.deb
tivsm-bacit.amd64.deb
tivsm-bahdw.amd64.deb
tivsm-filepath-source.tar.gz
tivsm-jbb.amd64.deb
Of these files, all .deb archives can be sent straight to a package repository. [1]
The filetivsm-filepath-source.tar.gz contains the interesting part, and we are going to look at it in more detail.
[1] Lintian has some remarks on these packages. But we don't have the sources, so there is little we can do.
