This is a set of scripts to package a DroboApp from scratch, i.e., download sources, unpackage, compile, install, and package in a TGZ file. The master
branch contains the Drobo5N version, the drobofs
branch contains the DroboFS version.
There won't be a new version of Crashplan for the Drobo anytime soon. With Crashplan 4.8, Code42 began using libraries incompatible with ARM devices like the Drobo and they have no plans of ever supporting ARM devices again. This means no more Crashplan for the Drobo, Raspberry Pi, Synology, QNAP, ReadyNAS, and so on.
The Crashplan app for Drobo blocks of the self-update mechanism. It is a feature that was introduced with 4.7.0.14. Some users have maintained functional backups to Crashplan Central using 4.7.0.14.

Check the releases page. If there are no releases available, then you have to compile.
Keep in mind that this DroboApp requires java8 and the locale apps to be installed.
First make sure that you have a working cross-compiling VM.
Log in the VM, pick a temporary folder (e.g., ~/build
), and then do:
git clone https://github.com/droboports/crashplan.git
cd crashplan
./build.sh
ls -la *.tgz
Each invocation creates a log file with all the generated output.
./build.sh distclean
removes everything, including downloaded files../build.sh clean
removes everything but downloaded files../build.sh package
repackages the DroboApp, without recompiling.This DroboApp has been the result of much online searching. In particular, the patch for JTux was adapted from here. The idea of using the Debian version of libjna comes from here. Libffi as a requirement comes from here, as well as the idea of moving the tmp folder. Libmd5 was introduced in version 3.2, and the instructions came from here.
