Although it is true that the git repo has not been updated for some time, there is a good reason, for more information, please see 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 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to 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-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
