Hello,
We recently released prebuilt binaries on bacula.org, and some of you
have downloaded them and had varying degrees of luck installing them.
Concerning the installation of Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver), I have
personally installed, configured and run it, including running with the
Aligned plugin, and from the brief testing I did, it works well.
However, I did notice a few errors in the installation guide, which I
have corrected in version 1.3 of the guide. I expect that all the "debs"
packages should work equally well.
On the other hand, we have reproduced some false dependency problems in
the rpm builds. This is probably due to the RedHat macro that
automatically searches for dependencies, which in my experience is very
error prone. We are working to fix those problems, and I will let you
know as soon as we are sure they are working.
In the mean time, if you are using deb packaging, I recommend that you
try, and please report back your experiences. Also, please check that
you are looking at version 1.3 (22 June 2018) of the Installation
guide. My Firefox browser caches the display of this document (in the
White Papers section), and so often shows an older version. Either
clear your cache or use a program such a wget to download the pdf.
Currently we have released binaries for about 10 common distros. If you
would like additional platforms, please let us know (bacula-users list),
but please allow some time for us to build them.
Many thanks to Davide Franco for building the binaries for the Bacula
project.
Best regards,
Kern
