Hi Jan! Re-adding the people who showed interest in helping as Cc:, please keep them since I am not the only one working on Bacula.

I need bacula and want to help (just > requested to join), Just out of my curiosity, do you strictly need 5.0.3 (the current upstream version) or could you work with 5.0.2 (the one currently in Debian)? I am simply asking because if 5.0.3 is *necessary* for most of the users, maybe we should ask for it as a stable-proposed-update, instead of simply relying on backports.d.o. > I even -- since I started to look at bugs in the package first before > looking here :-/ -- started to work on bacula, i.e. I have a clone of > john's git repo here and have a few commits on it.

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. I have some complaints/improvements in my head, I will come back ;-) Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
