Package: bareos-filedaemon
Version: 14.2.1+20141017gitc6c5b56-3+deb8u2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

while bug #784923 "bareos-filedaemon: missing bpipe plugin" was fixed in
unstable and stretch a while ago, it's still open in jessie, and I'm
asking you to address this in the next jessie point release.

It would come handy in the following situation:

In the light of the upcoming stretch release administration decides to
migrate from bacula to bareos. In order to reduce possible impact of a
combined migration and dist upgrade, the bareos migration happens right
now while the systems are still on jessie. This order is also backed by
the bareos upstream[1] since the migration from bacula 5.2.x (as in
jessie) is a documented process, while coming from 7 (as in stretch)
"has not been tested". In the end, everything worked fine except for
systems where the bpipe feature is used.

Also, the patch as below is extremely simple and gave the expected
result.

Regards,

    Christoph
