Kern,
I plan to move over to Bacula as soon as I get a chance and that last
comment was not directed just at bacula. I was just unsure of any project
related to bacula and did not want to get involved with stuff like this.
By alternative I meant avoiding bacula all together. The response that I
have gotten from this mailing list has been incredible considering what I
wrote.
Thanks for the heads up on bareos development. Being a recent discover of
bacula it really does help considering I know very little about development
of each and have never attended a talk about either. I may have sounded
offended but I just get tired of the negative attitudes generated from
stuff like this. Reminded me about disagreements with distros and such.
One of the only reasons I brought it to the mailing list was because I
think it is the wrong way to go especially with a new user. I mean, there
I was, learning to use bareos effectively, asking questions to satisfy my
curiosity and ended up finding out that bareos was the wrong way to go.
In my mind I thought, carry on, and install bacula at the first chance. In
others minds I was to be shunned.
It is allright, and I get it, I just figure that instead of having the
fight with the users, just take me at my word I would install bacula, and
let this all play out between the people that matter. I can understand all
the work that went into this software and from the blog posts it seems
things went pretty bad between the two projects.
I just have never seen any project, organization, or entity succeed when it
attacks its own users and considering, in reality, I will be a baccula user
if I move forward with this solution, it just did not seem right.
It also worries me to read this off of the blog:
This is also true for Bacula Systems, but is not at all the case for
Bareos, because it contains (alleged) stolen code from Bacula Systems,
plagiarized code from Bacula, and also plagiarized code from elsewhere on
the net, as well as code that was submitted to Bacula but simply put into
Bareos without permission of the author. If you are using Bareos software,
you might want to be sure you have some sort of indemnity or risk being
surprised ...
I see now that you are talking about how the code was also copied from
other sources but at first read it seems like Bacula is going to take
action against the users of bareos.
In the end this all comes down to myself being ignorant of this, learning
about it, saying I will fix it, but still being told to screw off. I know
you guys can't control this, and I know IRC too. It just seemed like a bad
attitude from an official project channel that is supposed to be an
official stop for live support.
Thanks,
Web....
