This is great news! I also heard they are working on an up to date
Ubuntu repo version, as well.
If there's one thing we've learned, it is Patience :)
I'm not against building from source, I actually was doing that at
first - and that's when I stumbled upon the "Hello command rejected"
issue since the director was at version 2.4.4 and the source builds were
at 3.0.1 (at the time).
I also spoke to Dan Langille in Canada briefly, and according to
legend, the director is the meat and potatoes when concerning Bacula, so
you can have a Bacula Director version 3.0.2, and still run ancient FD's
against it with no problem, because by design - the director is always
backward compatible with FD's of lower versions, for administrative
purposes.
This helps when dealing with overhead, since you only have to
upgrade the Director, and you don't have to upgrade a pile of FD's at
the same time, and worry about them later.
