This is all fine and good, Kern, but forbidden by the Debian policy. During build, not external downloads or even network connections are allowed. Doing so would be an instant FTBFS and thus release-critical bug. Debian Policy §4.9 cleary states: "For packages in the main archive, no required targets may attempt network access, except, via the loopback interface, to services on the build host that have been started by the build." We would need to ship the special libs3 either as embedded code inside the Bacula source package or package it as a separate libs3-bacula package. Both will get an instant veto from the Security Team and the Release Managers. (Debian Policy §4.13) So, unfortunately, it is impossible for Debian (and Ubuntu) to ship the Cloud Driver in an official package at the current time. Grüße, Sven.
