Hi,

I'm looking forward to use Bacula 1.38.1 that was released last week but not
even 1.38.0 that was released 31 october 2005 has an ebuild yet. There is
some problem with it? It's abandoned?

Please let me know if you need help on this ebuild. I don't know how to
create an ebuild and include it on the Gentoo Portage but I'm interested in
using Bacula 1.38.1 because of it's newest aditions.

Regards,

Herbert

Hello,

There was some confusion over maintainer transition for this package at one
time but we have worked it out.  As for 1.38.[01], I will have it committed
to portage when I have some time in the near future, but please be aware
that it will spend some time in ~arch just like every other pacakge.

Thanks,
Chris

Ok,

I'm going to build and test myself Bacula 1.38.1 and If you want I could
help you to get this onto portage.

Thanks,

Herbert

Better start out with a hard masked package at least for some time! The 
implications of the (IMHO horrible) upstream failure of maintaining 
downward compatibility on a distributed application will inevitably hit 
somebody hard, if we do not prevent emerge -u world from switching one 
Bacula client or server to 1.38 without taking care of the others...

Probably the only thing we could do about it (as slotting is as 
impracticable as a network-wide forced upgrade) would be to install 
1.38.x to a temporary path, and provide a script to switch it alive 
manually, to be sure the admins in question have at any rate noticed 
that they may just be cutting their clients off from the backup system. 
If you are willing to go that way, I'd lend a hand.
