Re: enabling transport and on storage encryption in bacula on debian build
Hello,
The current released version (2.4.x) series under an interpretation that
OpenSSL is not a system library routine, which is Debian's position, means
that they cannot distribute Bacula with OpenSSL enabled (Bacula
communications and data encryption).
The source code does exist, but is simply not enabled in the Debian binaries.
As a consequence, if you want encryption in Bacula, there are two choices:
1. Build it from source yourself (perfectly legal -- only distribution
violates the GPL license).
2. Wait for version 3.0.0 (currently in Beta testing as version 2.5.28-b1).
This version has no licensing problems (pointer to details for version 2.4.x
provided by John) and so Debian will be able to release it with OpenSSL
compiled in.
Best regards,
Kern
