Hi Tim,

(English/short: Why aren't these RPMs not part of the {Fedora, RHEL} 
repositories?)

Obviously, Bacula was not important enough for Redhat to include it in their 
own 
repositories (RHEL, Fedora Core) that's why RHEL/CentOS do not ship them.

Fedora (Extras) is open for external contributors but I think there are some 
issues which prevent inclusion of the given RPM packages (such as Fedora SPEC 
file requirements, packaging concerns). The main obstacle is that nobody did 
care enough to make the required changes.

However, some months ago a new effort (with newly created rpms) was started by 
Andreas Thienemann and I think this will finally result in the inclusion of 
bacula to Fedora Extras and very likely "Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux" 
(EPEL). The bug report is:
