> Earlier versions of Bacula used OpenSSL Bacula still uses OpenSSL. It never stopped AFAIK. I think you are referring to some packagers which feared license incompatibility and thus did not choose the OpenSSL option when compiling Bacula. I recall there was an issue, related to licenses, but this has since been corrected with the soon-to-be-released Bacula 3.0 - From http://marc.info/?l=bacula-devel&m=123833324825601&w=2 "The code in this version of Bacula is now license clean, which means that there should no longer be any license incompatibilities between the Bacula code and OpenSSL." - -- Dan Langille BSDCan - The Technical BSD Conference : http://www.bsdcan.org/ PGCon - The PostgreSQL Conference: http://www.pgcon.org/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAknRYqUACgkQCgsXFM/7nTzYuQCgysz3H9uBHZEc508ll6uKkaTY XTkAoLVBbrEj0jiH/gTkVI3aH6hmUzKV =AfKt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bacula-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-devel
