During development, the most important is to test the trunk. Prior to, during, and just after releases, it is *very* helpful to also test the most recent branch. As of yesterday, the most recent branch is Branch-2.4. The Branch code is constantly updated as we fix bugs, and Bacula releases from the current Branch (minor updates) typically occur every couple of months. A change in the major level (e.g. 2.2 -> 2.4) and thus the need to checkout a new branch occurs roughly every 9 months to a year. I personally test both the branch and the trunk every night. Thanks for your interest in Bacula and for testing. Thanks to the other users who are testing too :-) Best regards, Kern ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
