Hi, I wish to ask for a FFE exception so that we can get bacula 5.0.1 into lucid. The reason for this FFE are the following:
- Debian will be moving to 5.0 for Lucid - 3.0 is ancient and it will probably EOL during Lucid's lifecycle. - Easier to maintain from the developer perspective. I understand bacula 5 is a big jump from bacula 3 but it is explained as the following: You might be wondering why this release jumps from 3.0.x to 5.0.0 thus skipping version 4.0.0. We have done this for several reasons: first, we wanted a way of distinguishing the numbering system for the Bacula System Enterprise version and the Bacula Project version. So, to do so, we have decided that the first number of the Bacula Project version will always be odd, and the first number of the Enterprise version will always be even. Thus the Bacula Project now moves from 3.0.x to 5.0.x. In addition, we want to keep the Bacula Project version larger than the Enterprise version to indicate that the Bacula Project version is more advanced or has more features than the Enterprise version. For memory, the current Enterprise version is 2.6.1, and the next release (in a few months -- before June 2010) will be version 4.0.0 I have attached the debdiff, the buildlog and the changelog for your review.
