That is not something we Debian Developers can directly influence. But
you can take the Debian sources and rebuild them on a Ubuntu-System and
it will work.
That is likely going to be what I end up doing. But again, they use different
package names and layout from the bacula.org packages, so I have to convert my
configs and scripts back to /etc/bacula instead of /opt/bacula as well as
update my ansible cookbooks to use the Debian package names instead of the
bacula.org package names.
and don’t include mysql support as far as I can tell. I don’t really
want to have to covert my configs back to the debian-supplied version
since I’ve been running the bacula.org version for over a years.
Nobody uses MySQL anymore, every distribution has converted over to
MariaDB by now. This will not go away.
Except the packages that are built at bacula.org that still have mysql as
dependencies. And that’s in the most recent packages for 9.6.6. This is what
started me down the path of looking for the source package in the first place
so I can build my own package for 9.6.6.
Mariadb works a drop-in replacement for MySQL. So on Arch Linux I have Mariadb
installed and then I build Bacula from source and specify with-mysql in the
./configure command. For me everything just worked. All the mysql names in bin
are links to the equivalent in mariadb so bacula finds all the mysql files it
needs. Hope this helps.
The bacula-director package that comes with Ubuntu 20.04, doesn’t include any
database support as far as I can tell other than possibly sqlite. I couldn’t
even get it to start with the database configs I currently have. I have a vague
memory that this is what had me convert over to the bacula.org packages from
the OS provided ones a year or two ago.
Since I’m building a new server, I’m considering moving to 11.0, but
there aren’t packages for that yet, so I would still need the debian
package files to build my own.
I would hold back on 11 for a bit. The database transition from 9 to 11
is a bit rocky at the moment. So far, the official word on 11 is "it is
a beta".
Hmm… I figured since it was actually announced those issues had been resolved...
It was released but as a beta. The announcement mentions "This is a major new
release with many new features and a number of changes. Please take care to test this
code carefully before putting it into production. Although the new features have been
tested, they have not run in a production environment".
