We are going to be making some major changes to the FreeBSD port of Bacula. Before we do this, I'm looking for volunteers to test out the changes.
This is a short list of the changes we plan to make: - bacula-server will require bacula-client. you cannot install bacula-server without bacula-client - bacula-client and bacula-server will no longer install docs - all docs are installed only by bacula-docs - new port added: bacula-client-static (statically linked; so good for rescue CDs etc) Why is bacula-client now required by bacula-server? A long standing problem between the two ports was they each installed the same shared libraries. We solved this situation by making only bacula-client install the shared libraries. This is why bacula-server requires bacula-client. This change to the shared libraries will avoid the continually reported problems when upgrading Bacula on FreeBSD and not first deleting both bacula-client and bacula-server. Watch this thread, and I will post a URL from which you can download the upgraded ports and test them. We'll give you about a week to report any problems. Also, this is the place to discuss any issues with the above strategies. :) -- Dan Langille - http://langille.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WINDOWS 8 is here.
