I didn't even notice that. Bummer. Bacula has becoma a common backup software and is IMHO likely to be equally famous and widely used as e.g. Amanda. We should try hard to get it back into testing. Another critical issue: the bacula-directory-mysql package in Sarge is still unusable without manually patching it after the installation. I had expected that this is worth an update even in Sarge. > I have already prepared an NMU that fixes 22 bugs, including all four RC > bugs. I have tagged those bugs as pending.

I'm looking forward to see your package get through. I definitely want to see more current and sane bacula packages in Debian as I use it myself a lot. I second Gustavo's proposal to make it a team effort in an alioth project. If you need a helping hand I'll happily join the project and see what I can do. My environment is a lot smaller than yours though - disk and tape (DDS-3) backup without an autochanger - MySQL backend - 500,000 files.
