[Bug 1280149] Re: Add Bacula fork Bareos to repository
Although it is true that the Bacula git repo has not been updated for some time, there is a good reason, for more information, please see: http://www.bacula.org - News There is indeed a fork of Bacula, but that fork has only *one* former Bacula developer. Although, like other open source projects, developers come and go, I have been contacted by a number of former and current Bacula developers and they all remain with Bacula. I would appreciate it if people who make incorrect statements such as Most of the devlopers [sic] switched to the Bareos would take the time to investigate or simply look at the Bacula website before making such comments. You should realize that the Bareos fork has some serious problems, including copyright violations and alleged theft of proprietary code, so though anyone is free to download and use the Bareos release, you you will be downloading code that may contain code that Bareos has no right to release. On the other hand, Bacula's copyright is held by the Free Software Foundation, Europe, and I can assure you that all code in Bacula is used by written permission. Bacula has been under development for 14 years now and will continue so in the future at a pace that is faster than any fork that is created by one person in secret over a 3 year period. There will be another release of Bacula in the March-April time frame, which will have a lot of new features, many planned well before the fork. If you are the interested in the saga of the Bareos fork, please see the new Bacula website (under development) at: http://blog.bacula.org Kern Sibbald Bacula Project Manager -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to bacula in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1280149 Title: Add Bacula fork Bareos to repository To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bacula/+bug/1280149/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 1280149] Re: Add Bacula fork Bareos to repository
Since this is a request to package a new upstream source, this bug should be against Ubuntu generally, not against the existing bacula package in Ubuntu. I am triaging this bug from a neutral perspective. However, anybody working on this in Ubuntu should note that that Bacula Systems SA alleges that this upstream source (Bareos) contains non-free software with no appropriate licence and claims that a lawsuit was filed in December 2013 to resolve the matter.
