Hi,

I'm running bacula on a debian sarge system. The current debian bacula
version is 1.36.3-1, even in unstable. Are there any more recent
backports for bacula (I didn't find anything more recent on
www.apt-get.org)?

I don't want to build bacula from source, but as I'm just starting to
set up the bacula server, it would be nice to begin with fresh
release.


I'm not sure, but I have though that updating software like backup may be a
pain for a linux distribution maintainer, because of the work needed in
upgrades. Debian updates usually run automatically without user
intervention, but changes like in bacula 1.36->1.38 need alter in the
database.. Propably not easy to do w/o user intervention safely. In addition
to that, each and every machine in your system must run the same major
version of bacula. One more pain for automatic apt-get updates.

Bacula compiles fast, I have decided to go source way, compile ones, and
install bits to all machines; manually.
