Hello, At this point, I believe that we have the base code for all the planned new features for 1.39 (to be released as 1.40.0) in the main CVS HEAD. As a consequence, I would like to put a feature freeze into effect for the source code in the CVS, which means that no new features should be committed without first discussing it with me (and copying the bacula-devel) list.
This freeze does not apply to bug fixes or completing existing projects where code for that project has already been committed. For example, there are still a few unimplemented "sub-features" of Migration that need to be completed. Over the next few days, please be *very* careful to test your commits as carefully as possible as I am trying to stabilize the current code so that we can release a beta version for testing. By all means, please continue any incomplete implementation and fixing bugs ... If the above feature freeze is unclear or you have any doubt about a particular commit, please don't hesitate to ask. If anyone is willing to help out "upgrading" the existing SQL statements in Bacula so that they explicitly are aware, where necessary, of the new Enabled field in Media records, please email me, copying the devel list (so that we don't have 100 volunteers). A good knowledge of Bacula and SQL is important, but C/C++ programming is not. The new "Enabled" field can take on three values 0,1,2 which mean Disabled, Enabled, Archived respectively. As a consequence, all volumes that are not Enabled must be ignored for all backup/restore operations, and all volumes that are marked Archived must be exempt from automatic prunning. The work consists of doing a careful audit of the SQL in Bacula (lots of it) and making a list of where the changes need to be made, or actually making them yourself. Ideally, you would also test each proposed new SQL statement to ensure that it functions correctly after being modified.
