hallo.
i want to use bacula as my backup-solution in our network (debian; and some windoze) debian comes with packages for bacula-1.38. however, i'd rather use a recent version of bacula (bugfixes! and i use a quantum superloader3 which i suspect to cooperate more with 2.0 than with 1.38 - i haven't tried though) luckily enough there are debian-packages (2.0.0) on bacula's sourceforge site. BUT: our network has a mixture of sarge/etch and woody machines. i prefer to not upgrade the woody machines to sarge or etch (never touch a running system). furthermore i prefer to use debs for installing software on these machines. however, i would like to backup all systems (this is run the filedaemon), and eventually i would like to run a storagedaemon on one of the sarge boxes. unfortunately the pre-build debs do not even work with sarge (libc6,...). so i decided to build my own packages for all my debian releases, and while i am at it, to update to 2.0.2. the debian-patch against 2.0.0 applied clean, however i still have some questions/suggestions before i _really_ start: - who is the current maintainer of the debs? the changelog says that Jose Luis Tallon build the 2.0.0 packages and John Goerzen did most of the <2 packages; is anyone of them reading this list? what is the status of packaging bacula on the various debian releases? - the build-dependencies for bacula have an explicit build-conflict for "python2.3"; the changelogs do not mention why (though there is an entry that python2.3 was removed from the explicit depends(!)) and there is no python2.4 on sarge systems; can i remove this build-conflict? - on my woody boxes i would only need the filedaemon; i guess the simplest thing would be to create a debian-package for bacula-fd-static with no dependencies (rather than trying to compile bacula-2 on woody) - what else do i have to know? fgma.dsr IOhannes ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
