Hello Bruno,
thank you for clarification.
What you describe is readable both on the bareos.org website here:
http://www.bareos.org/en/download.html
and also was added to http://download.bareos.org/bareos/ in the page header.
What I wanted to add is that if you want to have the known bugs fixed,
you can use our nightly builds.
They are basically tested and contain the newest code that is stable enough to
be published.
But as they will contain new features you might find new bugs.
Helping to find and fix those would then be your support for the project.
Everybody that is using bareos in production should support the project by
buying a subscription to the bareos.com repositories, where you get
quality-assured stable packages.
Our project cannot survive without support, which can be either by buying a
subscription
or by helping to improve the project.
How this can be done is described here:

The Bareos Yum repositories haven't been updated in quite some time; for
the 14.2 series, the Yum repositories' latest package is 14.2.2 (released
2014-12-12). The next official release on the 14.2 branch was on
2015-02-02, seven months ago, and 14.2.4 was released almost six months ago.
I filed a ticket a bit over a week ago (
https://bugs.bareos.org/view.php?id=509 ), but I haven't seen it so much as
acknowledged. I queried on IRC a couple days ago about what a polite way to
get developer attention to the ticket would be, and got no reply.
So...what's a good, polite way to get the developers to update the yum
repos? Filing a ticket has not yet helped.
It seems you don't have completely understood how the repositories are working.
The binaries are released once a version is estimated stable enough
last time the version was 14.2.2
This is what you've got publicly available on download.bareos.org
Afterward, if a very blocking bug is found, (was the case in 12x series if my
memory is right) another build may be published.
It's up to you, if you need last binaries to
a) pick the source and build from there
b) Buy a subscription, download.bareos.com has always the last new version build
and available here.
c) May be there a third way, if you can monitor, and help on the build process.
(no warranty)
Why such a way may you ask?
Building and maintaining an open source project, need $$$ to pay bills.
The price of the subscription is very low honestly.
I hope this help you to better know how it works.
