I would like to see us support as many systems as possible. However, since we are not a commercial service and receive very few donations, I would say that we should minimize building systems to those that have some reasonable download statistics (say at least 50) and for which you have a build machine available. IMO, users who are running older systems can either stay with the Bacula they have installed on that system (if possible) or upgrade by building from source. If there is enough demand for old systems, I could see some Bacula user adopting that system and releasing it himself, or following your build guidelines and releasing it in the appropriate contrib area. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
