Hello,

Bweb tool in Bacula Community has been removed from bacula-gui release
archive from version 7.0.x. From the same version 7.0 has introduced
Baculum tool to bacula-gui archive.

Here is Baculum in Bacula Git repository:

http://www.bacula.org/git/cgit.cgi/bacula/tree/gui/baculum?h=Branch-7.0

OK. Thank you for clarification. I was thinking that question is about
general packages/projects. In Debian I have not seen PRADO Framework in
packages, similar as Opentip JavaScript library and Flotr2 library. They
are Baculum dependencies that I wrote up in debian/copyright in Baculum
deb metadata file.

I have seen libjs-flotr, but probably it is older version of Flotr2
project. I need to check it.

OK. It is fine for me.

I did not say that I have never made Debian packages before. I just have
never been packages maintainer. Anyway, from that what I read and
understood, sponsor is person that prepares build packages instead of
me. If I am wrong, I am sorry, Lately I read a lot of different texts in
Internet.

I prepared Baculum project on Launchpad for Ubuntu as PPA project.

Best regards.
