Hello Kern
First of all, thanks for the new Bacula release. It always amazing install
new releases.
I have home questions about it:
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------
- So I've tried to upgrade for this new version and I found a problem in
update script (as you mentioned above).
In this part of script for update tables:
How I'm already running bacula 7.4.7, the version of Catalog is 15, and the
update_table script is verifying version between 12 and 14, should be 12
and 15.
if [ "$DBVERSION" -lt 12 -o "$DBVERSION" -gt 14 ] ; then
echo " "
echo "The existing database is version $DBVERSION !!"
echo "This script can only update an existing version 12-14 version 15."
echo "Error. Cannot upgrade this database."
echo " "
exit 1
fi
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------
- About the new .api2. The manual is not so clear about it.
In the option "t" I guess is possible to inform 3 options (1, 2 or 3), but
in option "sn" and "Sn" what values are allowed?
api version 2
In Bacula version 9.0 and later, we introduced a new .api version to help
external tools to parse various Bacula bconsole output.
The api_opts option can use the following arguments:
C
Clear current options
tn
Use a specific time format (1 ISO format, 2 Unix Timestamp, 3 Default
Bacula time format)
sn
Use a specific separator between items (new line by default).
Sn
Use a specific separator between objects (new line by default).
o
Convert all keywords to lowercase and convert all non isalpha characters to
_
.api 2 api_opts=t1s43S35
.status dir running
==================================
jobid=10
job=AJob

> Hello,
>
> I am pleased to inform you that I have released the beta source code for
> Bacula 7.9.0 to the Source Download area of bacula.org.
> http://www.bacula.org -> Downloads -> Source Download Center.
>
> Please note that the 7.9.0 release is a beta release, and it has not yet
> been fully tested. For example the database upgrade scripts have not been
> fully tested and testing with the Windows File daemon has not yet been
> done. Consequently without careful testing by you we are not yet
> recommending it for production.
>
> Aside from testing the database upgrade scripts and the Windows
> compatibility, the most important thing that you can do for the project is
> to run the nightly regression tests. This will help confirm that it works
> across various platforms. If there are no serious bugs, we will release it
> for production in several weeks (mid-June 2017).
>
> By the way, I have been running 7.9.0 in production for several weeks now.
>
> Below, for your convenience, you will find a partial copy of the

> Release Notes for Bacula 7.9.0
>
> Release Version 7.9.0 pre-release beta
>
> NOTE: version 7.9.0 is a beta test program. The final release will
> be made several weeks following the beta release barring any problems.
> The final release will be 9.0.0.
>
> This is either the biggest Bacula release ever made or one of the
> biggest ones. Even without the new Aligned Volumes source code, which
> is substantial, there are over 78,700 lines of diff output between
> Release 7.4.7 and this release of 7.9.0
>
> For the most part the changes were contributed to the Bacula
> project by Bacula Systems SA.
>
> Database Update
> ---------------
> This version of Bacula requires a database update. So either you or the
> installation process must apply the update_bacula_tables script.
>
> Compatibility:
> --------------
> As always, both the Community Director and Storage daemon(s) must be
> upgraded
> at the same time. Any File daemon running on the same machine as a
> Director
> or Storage daemon must be of the same version.
>
> Older File Daemons should be compatible with the 7.9.0 Director and Storage
> daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File Daemons.
>
> New features and changes:
> Please see the New Features chapter of the manual for documentation on
> the new features. The new features are currently only in the New Features
> chapter and have not yet been integrated into the main chapters of the
> manual.
