Good point, I have not checked all the bugs in the BTS yet. About #606262, I think we should start integrating the provided script with the Debian package and then different people (I would say at least three) should test the upgrade path on different machines and configurations. I just replied to the bug, including the upstream bacula-user@ mailing list for comments. Anyway, IMHO this is not a showstopper for a new Bacula version in sid ;-) >> For sure we are interested, the more people are looking at a package the >> better it is, but there is an overlapping effort going on: José planned >> to prepare an update version for this week-end, so I guess you should >> contact him and check to not do any duplicate work anymore. >> >> I have not done anything yet, given that José promptly replied me (in >> private), so I decided to let him doing the work and jump in later.

BTW, please note that I already set up the Git repository to push commit notices to the pkg-bacula-commits@ mailing list ;-) > Then I hope you're alright with my changes and we can go on from > there... Well, Debian is a do-ocracy, so you are entitled to any change as much as I am, thus please go on! Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
