Hello Carsten, Thank you for your message.
Yes, I am still working on the packaging. So far I release Baculum binary deb packages in Launchpad.net service both for Debian and Ubuntu. Yes, I am not a Debian developer nevertheless all the time I am interested in packaging deb packages. Your proposition about join me to the Debian Bacula Team and maintain Baculum in teamwork is really nice for me. Thank you for the proposition. I will join to Debian Bacula Team with pleasure. The main barrier with Baculum packages preparation for Debian is a PHP framework that Baculum uses for work. It is PRADO framework which has to be unbundled from Baculum packages. The framework contains a few external components (FirePHP, TextHighligher... and others) that should be packaged separately. Baculum does not use any from these external components, but I understand that the framework has to be packaged as independent deb package. Summarizing, it looks that there is needed to do: - Unbundle and package external framework components, - Prepare the unbundled framework package, - and then prepare Baculum package. It is huge amount of work. I am writing about it for inform you about required work to Baculum packages preparation. I am able to do most of these works self. I understand that I do not have enough knowledge to prepare fully valid Debian packages and in this point I would like to ask you about help. Here my question is - if Debian Bacula Team is still interested Baculum as Debian package? About #656891 ITP request - Bweb is not longer developed in Bacula Community Project and from version 7.0 the Bweb is not provided with bacula-gui tar archive. From this reason I think that merging bug #656891 with Baculum ITP is not needed. Thank you in advance for reply. Best regards.
