At release, these had 7.0.5, although 7.2.0 update packages have since been released. The one system that is not Fedora 23 is my Raspberry Pi that I use as the storage server; that runs Debian Jessie. In order to be able to use the 7.0.5 director, I had to compile 7.0.5 storage server on Jessie. The hardest part about this was creating a proper systemd unit file for bacula-sd. I finally installed the bacula-sd package, saved off the systemd unit file that it provided, then removed the package and installed the compiled storage daemon. This all works, but it is very convoluted. > About using Jessie, is it worth compile the Director and SD? > If you're going to compile one, you should probably compile both. Now I have heard that Fedora 23 can be installed on a Raspberry Pi 2, and I got one of those for Christmas, so I will be attempting that this weekend. This isn't because I have anything against Debian, it's just that maintenance will be a lot easier if I can use the distro's package management system and easily update all the various Bacula components at the same time. Running "dnf update bacula*" is way easier than compiling from source and mucking about with systemd. And now I have had to exclude bacula packages from updates on my systems to avoid having the file daemons upgraded to a newer version than my storage server, so this becomes even more of an issue for me now. --Greg
