These fix a handful of bugs the most serious being a potential data loss
bug. Committed during the freeze since a data loss bug in backup
software is no good!

the 2.0.x series. Major new features include:
- Much faster insertion of attributes (somewhere around 10 times),
many thanks to Eric Bollengier and Marc Cousin.
- First release of bat (Bacula Administration Tool). Note to build
bat you must explicitly enable it on the ./configure line, you
must have the Qt4 version 4.2 or later libraries loaded, the qwt
(Qt Graphics) package loaded, and qmake and the other Qt4 tools
must be available. Most of the implementation was done by Dirk Bartley.
- Red/Black restore in memory tree (500 times faster loading).
- The Regex Where code to allow easier relocation of restored files
thanks to Eric.
- Socket level heartbeat for all connections (untested).
- posix_fadvise() use in the FD to improve performance reduces
swapping due to opening/reading lots of files. Win32 equivalent
implemented.
- Much improved Volume reservation code that should eliminate most
conflicts experienced in multiple drive autochangers.
- Simpler locking in the SD in the reservation system.
- Detection of file size/date change during backup if enabled.
- New Recycle Pool feature -- thanks to Eric.
- Efficient implementation of very large include/exclude lists.
- Volumes are no longer pruned during 'status dir'
- Pruning is now more efficient, and if a Volume is purged,
during pruning, it is immediately discovered.
- License is now GPL v2 without modifications, fix a few copyright
mistakes made when adding FSFE copyright notice.
Important upgrade notes are mentioned in the MESSAGE file.

(via pkgsrc-users@NetBSD.org) verified the patch in his setup.
the owner of all installed files is a non-root user. This change
affects most packages that require special users or groups by making
them use the specified unprivileged user and group instead.
(1) Add two new variables PKG_GROUPS_VARS and PKG_USERS_VARS to
unprivileged.mk. These two variables are lists of other bmake
variables that define package-specific users and groups. Packages
that have user-settable variables for users and groups, e.g. apache
and APACHE_{USER,GROUP}, courier-mta and COURIER_{USER,GROUP},
etc., should list these variables in PKG_USERS_VARS and PKG_GROUPS_VARS
so that unprivileged.mk can know to set them to ${UNPRIVILEGED_USER}
and ${UNPRIVILEGED_GROUP}.
(2) Modify packages to use PKG_GROUPS_VARS and PKG_USERS_VARS.

The most important upgrade remarks are included in the MESSAGE file.
As I'm not using bacula myself anymore, I won't be able to support PR's, so

one else takes over maintainership).
- Add test for IRIX64 as OS
- Minor tweaks to bregex.c
- Fix to block.c to correctly check for DVD number of parts.
- Fix to dev.c to permit DVD seeking in spool file. Corrects label rewriting

of Bacula.
- Use FDL license for developer's manual, French translation, German
translation, bimagemgr manuals (same as the main manual), and the web site.

Bump PKGREVISION.
Here are the major highlights for 1.38.10:
=============
Warning for version 1.38.8 and greater:
- The Windows FD no longer automatically folds the case in wild-card
comparions. To get the same behavior as before, you must explicitly use
"Ignore Case = yes" in your FileSet.
- Backslashes are no longer permitted in File directives (typical error for
Windows users), unless the string is enclosed in double quotes, in which
case, the backslashes must be doubled.
Major Changes for 1.38.10:
- This is a primarily a bug fix release, with the following bugs being
resolved#570, 609, 611, 613, 614, 617 as well as other bugs not
reported in the bugs database. See below for details.
- The bconsole "reload" command should now work properly in virtually
all situations thanks to the efforts of a number of people (Eric,
Christopher, and myself).
- There is an untested fix to eliminate the scheduling problems (either
no job run or the same job run twice) during sudden clock shifts (daylight
savings time change).
- The manual has been released under the GNU Free Documentation License (FDL).
The major difference is that this removes the prior restriction on
commercial reproduction of the manual.
- Fixed a race condition (thanks to Christopher) on dual processor machines
that caused jobs to block when starting with the SD.
===========
Please read the ReleaseNotes for more details.
Changes since the 1.38.8 release:
- Added code to strip backslashes from Windows filenames during
a restore.
- Corrected Win32 License to use the correct LICENSE file.
- Corrected the buffer count and bytes reported in the heap
statistics.
- Implement an NT_() macro to indicate that text should NOT
be translated.
- Fix a number of incorrect strings marked for translation, when
they should not be (e.g. commands).
- Fix StartTime bug reported for ClientRunBeforeJob and RunBeforeJob
Patches supplied by user in bugs #608 and #599.
- Use most recent of st_ctime and st_mtime in restore tree DIR
listing. This fixes some problems with Win32 printing incorrect
values.
- Correct the clock shift comm time calculation between the DIR
and the FD. It was added rather than subtracted.
- Strip all backslashes in filenames to be restored on Win32
machines -- the names should all be in Unix format, and if
there are any backslashes it is most likely due to an improper
FileSet definition, and the files will not otherwise be
restorable.
- Remove lib/regex.c (replaced by bregex.c).
- Delete src/win32/License.txt
- Modify installer to install LICENSE
- Add back ua_label barcode fix from Rufolf Cejka.
- Add 'Dir Status' button to the gnome console.
- Display heap stats in Storage daemon without debug level.
- Integrate most of the MinGW changes -- more to do.
- Implement using pg_config for finding PostgreSQL files.
Fixes bug #600. Patch supplied by user.
- Remove -t option from mktemp in mtx_changer.in and use
working directory. Fixes bug #578.
- Update job start time after the any run before job so that
files created by the script are only backed up once. Fixes
bug #599.
- Strip trailing newline only from filenames entered in
the restore command when reading a file. This permits
the user to enter filenames with trailing spaces. Fixes
bug #549. The user supplied a patch that I modified slightly.
- Use the most recent time (st_mtime, st_ctime) in the dir
command in restore. This gives the user a better idea of what
the newest file really is. This fixes bug #574. The fix
was suggested by the user.
- Remove the -f option from the chown in Makefile.in for more
portability.
- Change setting the group in Makefile.in to use chgrp for
more portability.
- Implement a Bacula read/write lock for Python rather
than using the Python lock to avoid recursive problems.
- Correct the uninstall directory names in filed/Makefile.in
as reported by a user.
Release 1.38.8 (14Apr06)
14Apr06
- Correct Makefile for Solaris /bin/sh
- Correct mtx-changer.in for Solaris /bin/sh

12Apr06
- Change the name of the regex program to bregex.
- Add the bwild program to the tools directory. It is similar to the bregex
program.
- Implement create bregex.h and bregex.c in src/lib from the Python regexp
program.
- Use the new bregex.c to implement Regex expressions on Win32.
11Apr06
- Modify Makefile to change the permissions on Working Directory to 770 if the
directory is created.
- Do not fail the Makefile if changing the permissions or owner/group on
WorkingDir fails.
- Correct the old recycling algorithm so that Scratch Volumes are selected when
looking for a Volume in the changer.
- Correct a typo in the Verify SQL reported by Joe Park.
10Apr06
- Remove automatic case folding on Windows FDs. You must explictly use the
'Ignore Case = yes' option.
- Remove the code added to 1.38.6 and 1.38.7 that pulls a scratch volume in an
Autochanger early in the 'recycling' algorithm.
08Apr06
- Tweak license to include Microsoft restrictions.
- Move mysql.reconnect to after real_connect(). Thanks to Frank Sweetser for
the patch.
- Disallow a backslash in a File = directive (Windows junk) unless the string
is quoted.

Release 1.38.7 (06Apr06) released 07Apr06
- Remove timed wait for VSS on Win2K3 as it is not yet implemented.
- Correct bacula.in script to reference bacula-ctl-xx in the sysconfig
directory rather than the bin directory.
patch-ak has been applied upstream.
Release Notes for Bacula 1.38.6:
New features:
- For autochanger get Scratch tape if in autochanger if
no appendable Volumes are available.
- New virtual disk autochanger. See scripts/disk-changer for
documentation.
- New optional Device resource directive in SD. 'Device Type =',
which may have types: File, DVD, Tape, or FIFO. This can
be useful for writing DVDs on FreeBSD where Bacula cannot
correctly detect the DVD.
- Faster restore tree building and uses less memory.
- The command line keyword job (or jobname) now refers to the
name of the job specified in the Job resource; jobid refers
as before to the non-unique numeric jobid; and ujobid refers
to the unique job identification that Bacula creates for each
job.
- The job report for Backups has a few more user friendly ways
of displaying the information.
- The wait command can now be made to wait for jobids.
- New command line keywords are permitted in update volume. They
are Inchanger=yes/no, slot=nn.
- Add two new console commands: enable job=<job-name> and
disable job=<job-name>. When a job is disabled, it will not
be started by the scheduler. If you disable a job and restart
Bacula or reload the .conf file, the job will be re-enabled.
- Add a new Job resource directive "enable = yes|no".
Major bug fixes:
- Fix race condition in multiple-drive autochangers where
both drives want the same Volume.
- Do not allow opening default catalog for restricted console
if it is not in ACL.
- Writable FIFOs now work for restore.
- ACLs are now checked in all dot commands.
- Multiple drive autochangers and multiple different autochangers
should now work correctly (no race conditions for Volume names,
update slots use correct StorageId).
- Fix bug where drive was always reserved if a restore job failed
while in the reservation process.
Release Notes for Bacula 1.38.5:
Release 1.38.5 released 19Jan06:
- Apply label barcodes fix supplied by Rudolf Cejka.
- Modify standard rpm installation to set SD group to disk
so that SD will by default have access to tape drives.
- Allow users to specify user/group and start options
for each daemon in /etc/sysconf/bacula file.
Changes to 1.38.4 released 17Jan06:
- The main changes are to the Director and the Storage daemon, thus there is no
need to update your File daemons. Just the same, I do recommend running with
the release 1.38.3 Win32 FD or later.
- Add two new queries to query.sql provided by Arno. One list volumes known to
the Storage device, and the other lists volumes possibly needing replacement
(error, ...).
- Add periodic (every 24 hours) garbage collection of memory pool by releasing
free buffers.
- Correct bug counting sized (for display only) in smartall.c
- Print FD mempool stats if debug > 0 rather than 5.
- Correct bug in alist.c that re-allocated the list if the number of items goes
to zero.
- Move the reservation system thread locking to the top level so that one job
at a time tries all possible drives before waiting.
- Implement a reservation 'fail' message queue that is built and destroyed on
each pass through the reservation system. These messages are displayed in a
'Jobs waiting to reserve a drive' list during a 'status storage='. Note,
multiple messages will generally print for each JobId because they represent
the different problems with either the same drive or different drives. If
this output proves too confusing of voluminous, I will display it only when
debug level 1 or greater is enabled in the SD.
- Add enable/disable job=<job-name>. This command prevents the specified job
from being scheduled. Even when disabled, the job can be manually started
from the console.
- During 'update slots' clear all InChanger flags where the StorageId is zero
(old Media records).
- Fix autochanger code to strip leading spaces from returned slots number.
Remove bc from chio-changer.
- Back port a bit of 1.39 crypto code to reduce diffs.
- Fix first call to autochanger that missed close()ing the drive. Put close()
just before each run_program(). Fixes Arno's changer bug.
- Add PoolId to Job record when updating it at job start time.
- Pull in more code from 1.39 so that there are fewer file differences (the new
ua_dotcmds.c, base64.h, crypto.h hmac.c jcr.c (dird and lib) lib.h md5.h
parse_conf.c util.c. Aside from ua_dotcmds.c these are mostly crypto upgrades.
- Implement new method of walking the jcr chain. The incr/dec of the use_count
is done within the walking routines. This should prevent a jcr from being
freed from under the walk routines.
as bacula-1.38.3.tar.gz. The mirrors were probably not up-to-date yet when I
updated the bacula package (which was right after the release announcement).
The Bacula developers have acknowledged the problem and have modified their
beta release scripts so that future beta releases will have unique names like
bacula-beta-<version>-<date>.tar.gz.
Don't do the DIST_SUBDIR trick as the mirrors synced shortly after that.
ftp.netbsd.org has the correct file.
This fixes PR pkg/32477.
Changes to 1.38.3:
- This is mainly a bug release fix. In addition, the multiple drive reservation
algorithm has been rewritten.
- In addition, the method of handling waiting for tapes to be mounted and the
mount messages has been modified. (the above two items are a potential
source of problems).
- Simplify code in askdir.c that waits for creating an appendable volume so
that it can handle multiple returns from the wait code.
- Modify the wait code to permit multiple returns.
- Return a zero when "autochanger drives" is called and it is not an
autochanger.
- Make rewind_dev() a method taking a DCR as an argument. This permits closing
and reopening the drive if the rewind fails as happens if the drive was
loaded while the file descriptor was open. This refreshes the file
descriptor.
- Remove the ST_OPENED flag and always rely on fd < 0 for knowing if the device
is open or not. This should eliminate Arnos problem.
- Return error if reserve cannot find at least one suitable device.
- Make wait_for_sysop() return correct state information.
- Fix Win32 state file problem. write was not using compat code. This should
fix bug #500.
- Modify gui on command to set only GUI mode and not batch.
- Modify .messages command to always print messages regardless of the mode.
- If GUI mode is on, suppress automatic printing of You have messages.
- Modify restore command in wx-console to set gui on and to use only .messages
instead of messages. Hopefully this fixes bug #514.
- Implement load balancing code with multiple drive autochangers.
- Rewrite reservation algorithm again. Rename variables to be more logical, add
HEARTBEAT with Director, allow cancel of jobs stuck in reservation, add last
resourt any_drive.
- Fix seg fault if user labels a drive directly bug #513
- Remove quotes around Version as it breaks things.
- Merge in Aleksandar Milivojevic's mods to the spec file.
- Apply sparse code fix for raw drives and fifos. Bug 506
- Thorsten fixed Unicode cd problem with wx-console bug 505.
- Correct reservation system to do a last ditch try for any mounted volume,
then anyone anywhere.
- Updates to ssh-tunnel from Joshua Kugler.
- Added a report.pl program from Jonas Bjorklund.
- Simplify the O_NONBLOCK open() code for tape drives, and always open
nonblocking.
- Do not wait for open() if EIO returned (shouldn't happen).
- Eliminate 3 argument to tape open().
- Correct the slot # edited in the 3995 Bad autochanger unload message.
- With -S on bscan (show progress) do not divide by zero.
- Make cancel pthread_cond_signal() pthread_cond_broadcast().
- When dcr is freed, also broadcast dev->wait_next_vol signal.
- Remove unused code in wait_for_device.
- Make wait_for_device() always return after 60 seconds of wait.
- Use localhost if no network configured
- Eliminated duplicate MaxVolBytes in cat update -- bug 509.
- Update specs to include mysql4 define.
- Return rec->FileIndex in dcr->VolLastIndex for normal and partial records in
read_record(). This allows bscan to get FileIndex at EOT correct.
- Fix butil.c to correctly set dcr -- fixes seg fault in bls.
- Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified) to fix correct detection of
holes in block devices and FIFOs. Bug # 506.
- Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified) to fix SD hang with multiple
pools and bad client IP. Fixes bug # 508.
- Add nagios plugin to the examples directory. Submitted by Christian Masopust.
- Remove warning message about multiple saves of hardlinked files from
find_one.c as it can generate too many warning messages.
- Reset timeout values before select() per patch from Frank Sweetser for
problems with non-blocking sockets.
- Unlink the state file if either reading or writing it gets errors. Hopefully
this will fix Win32 exit problems.
- Get next volume from Scratch pool before creating a volume.
- Set new Pool defaults in Vol when moved from Scratch Pool.
- Remove argument from create_bacula_database for SQLite as it caused an error.
- Fix reservation so that mutexes are properly applied.
- Rework reservation algorithm so that two drives can be used at the same time.
- Apply days keyword patch from Alexander.Bergolth at wu-wien.ac.at If this
patch is applied, the number of days can be specified with "list nextvol
days=xx" or "status dir days=xx". My use case is to be able to preview the
next scheduled job (and the next tape to be used) on fridays if there are no
scheduled jobs during the weekend.
- Fix font code in gnome2 console user patch. Fixes bug #501.
- Fix malformatted bnet error message that caused seg fault fixes bug 502

- Fix Win98 stat() problem in FD (Thorsten Engel)
- Fix update slots which did not clear missing tapes.
- Fix autostart install for FreeBSD (user reported)
- Fix several problems with PostgreSQL scripts (Eric Bollinger)
- Critical: allow restore of the first file of non-portable Win32 backup.
- Important: with muliple concurrent jobs the autochanger could get
confused because of a missing mutex.
- Fix accessing last slot in label and update slots.
- Modify configure.in to add execute option to sqlite3 catalog scripts.
- Create update_xxx_table_8_to_9 scripts for updatedb
- Move the -lcrypt for PostgreSQL after the PostgreSQL libs in
autoconf/bacula-macros/db.m4 as suggested by user. Fixes bug #457.
- Remove @STATIC_CONS@ from tray-monitor Makefile as suggested by user.
Fixes bug #456.
Release Notes for Bacula 1.38.0
Bacula code: Total files = 420 Total lines = 138,440 (*.h *.c *.in)
20,440 additional lines of code since version 1.36.3
Major Changes:
- Fixed out of order Volumes in restore.
- Improved algorithm for reserving drives in multiple drive
autochangers. Autochange users MUST use the new Autochanger
resource in the Storage daemon.
- There is a new database format that is not compatible
with previous databases. You must upgrade if converting
from 1.36.x. No changes from version 1.37.30.
- The Director, Storage daemon, and File daemons are
Deamons are not compatible with prior versions.
All FDs must be upgraded at the same time.
- Support for ANSI/IBM labels.
- Faster database inserts due to combining the MD5/SHA1 into
the attributes record, eliminating one INSERT/file backed up.
- Python Event support has been added. See below for
configuration and details. The implementation is somewhat minimal,
so the functionality is not complete. The Python interface
has not been extensively tested, so please consider it BETA.
- DVD writing support, using parts, and some new directives in
the Device resource of the Storage configuration file thanks
to Nicolas Boichat. Please note that this code is still
BETA and should be carefully tested before using in
production.
- Seven new options keywords in a FileSet resource:
ignorecase, fstype, hfsplussupport, wilddir, wildfile, regexdir,
and regexfile thanks to Pruben Guldberg). See below for details.
- Restore of all files for a Job or set of jobs even if the file
records have been removed from the catalog.
- Restore of a directory (non-recursive, i.e. only one level).
- Support for TLS (ssl) between all the daemon connections thanks
to Landon Fuller.
- Any Volume in the Pool named Scratch may be reassigned to any
other Pool when a new Volume is needed.
- You may clone a Job and thus write (almost) the same data
to multiple Volumes simultaneously (see below). Actually,
any Job may start any other Job with this mechanism, so it
also be used to group jobs.
- Unicode filename support for Win32 (thanks to Thorsten Engel)
- Volume Shadow Copy support for Win32 thus the capability to
backup exclusively opened files (thanks to Thorsten Engel).
A VSS enabled Win32 FD is available. You must explicitly
turn on VSS with "Enable VSS = yes" in your FileSet resource.
- New manual format with an index (thanks to Karl Cunningham).
- New Web site format (thanks to Michael Scherer).
- SQLite3 support.
- Web-bacula, previously a separate project by Juan Luis Frances,
is now included in the Bacula GUI release. This is a management
level tool for reporting the state of Bacula jobs.
- The code is now Internationalized so that it can be localized
in native languages. Thanks to Nicolas Boichat.
New Directives:
- New Job directive "Prefer Mounted Volumes = yes|no" causes the
SD to select either an Autochanger or a drive with a valid
Volume already mounted in preference. If none is available,
it will select the first available drive.
- New Run directive in Job resource of DIR. It permits
cloning of jobs. To clone a copy of the current job, use
Run = "job-name level=%l since=\"%s\""
Note, job-name is normally the same name as the job that
is running but there is no restriction on what you put. If you
want to start the job by hand and use job overrides such as
storage=xxx, realize that the job will be started with the
default storage values not the overrides. The level=%l guarantees
that the chosen level of the job is the same, and the since=...
ensures that the job uses *exactly* the same time/date for incremental
and differential jobs. The since=... is ignored when level=Full.
A cloned job will not start additional clones, so it is not possible
to recurse.
- New Options keywords in a FileSet directive (backported to 1.36.3):
- WildDir xxx
Will do a wild card match against directories (files will not
be matched).
- WildFile xxx
Will do a wild card match against files (directories will not
be matched).
- RegexDir xxx
Will do a regular expression match against directories (files
will not be matched).
- RegexFile xxx
Will do a regular expression match against files( directories
will not be matched).
- IgnoreCase = yes | no
Will ignore case in wild card and regular expression matches.
This is handy for Windows where filename case is not significant.
- FsType = string
where string is a filesystem type: ext2, jfs, ntfs, proc,
reiserfs, xfs, usbdevfs, sysfs, smbfs, iso9660. For ext3
systems, use ext2. You may have multiple fstype directives
and thus permit multiple filesystem types. If the type
specified on the fstype directive does not match the
filesystem for a particular directive, that directory will
not be backed up. This directive can be used to prevent
backing up non-local filesystems.
- HFS Plus Support = yes | no
If set, Mac OS X resource forks will be saved and restored.
- Label Type = ANSI | IBM | Bacula
Implemented in Director Pool resource and in SD Device resource.
If it is specified in the SD Device resource, it will take
precedence over the value passed from the Director to the SD.
- Check Labels = yes | no
Implemented in the SD Device resource. If you intend to read
ANSI or IBM labels, this *must* be set. Even if the volume
is not ANSI labeled, you can set this to yes, and Bacula will
check the label type.
- Scripts Directory = <directory> name. Defines the directory from
which Bacula scripts will be called for events. In fact, Bacula
appends this name to the standard Python list of search directories,
so the script could also be in any of the Python system directories.
- In FileSet, you can exclude backing up of hardlinks (if you have
a lot, it can be very expensive), by using:
HardLinks = no
in the Options section. Patch supplied by David R Bosso. Thanks.
- MaximumPartSize = bytes (SD, Device resource)
Defines the maximum part size.
- Requires Mount = Yes/No (SD, Device resource)
Defines if the device require to be mounted to be read, and if it
must be written in a special way. If it set, the following directives
must be defined in the same Device resource:
+ Mount Point = directory
Directory where the device must be mounted.
+ Mount Command = name-string
Command that must be executed to mount the device. Before the command
is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and %m with the
Mount Point.
+ Unmount Command = name-string
Command that must be executed to unmount the device. Before the
command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and
%m with the Mount Point.
+ Write Part Command = name-string
Command that must be executed to write a part to the device. Before
the command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, %m
with the Mount Point, %n with the current part number (0-based),
and %v with the current part filename.
+ Free Space Command = name-string
Command that must be executed to check how much free space is left
on the device. Before the command is executed, %a is replaced with
the Archive Device, %m with the Mount Point, %n with the current part
number (0-based), and %v with the current part filename.
- Write Part After Job = Yes/No (DIR, Job Resource, and Schedule Resource)
If this directive is set to yes (default no), a new part file will be
created after the job is finished.
- A pile of new Directives to support TLS. Please see the TLS chapter
of the manual.
New Commands:
- "python restart" restarts the Python interpreter. Rather brutal, make
sure no Python scripts are running. This permits you to change
a Python script and get Bacula to use the new script.
New configure options:
- --with-libintl-prefix for defining alternate locations for
the NLS internationalization libraries. Not normally required.
- --datadir for defining where the language files will be installed
required only if you do not want the default /usr/share.
Items to note!!!
- If you use an Autochanger, you MUST update your SD conf file
to use the new Autochanger resource. Otherwise, certain commands
such as "update slots" may not work.
- You must add --with-python=[DIR] to the configure command line
if you want Python support. Python 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 should be
automatically detected if in the standard place.
- When linking with --with-python, there are a few warnings that
can be ignored.
- You must either create a new catalog database or upgrade your
old database. After installation, run from your scripts
directory:
./upgrade_bacula_tables
You can also find this script in the <bacula-source>/src/cats
directory.
- The Director, Storage daemon, and File daemons are
Deamons are not compatible with prior versions.
All FDs must be upgraded at the same time.
- You must add --with-openssl to the configure command line if
you want TLS communications encryption support.
- Disk seeking during restores does not yet work correctly in
all cases, so it is turned off.
- Note, with gcc (GCC) 4.0.1 20050727 (Red Hat 4.0.1-5) on an
AMD64 CPU running 64 bit CentOS4, there is a compiler bug that
generates bad code that causes Bacula to segment fault.
Typically you will see this in the Storage daemon first. The
solution is to compile Bacula ensuring that no optimization is
turned on (normally it is -O2).
Other Items:
- Security fixes for temp files created in mtx-changer, during
./configure, and during making of Rescue disk.
- A new script, dvd-handler, in the scripts directory,
which is designed to be used as parameters to Write Part Command and
Free Space Command. They need the dvd+rw-tools to be installed
(http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/) AND, the growisofs
program must be patched using the
<bacula-source>/patches/dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8.bacula.patch
You must have Python installed to run the scripts.
- Part files support: File volumes can now be split into multiple
files, called "parts".
- For the details of the Python scripting support, please see the new
Python Scripting chapter in the manual.
Change BACULA_PIDDIR from /var/run/bacula to /var/run.
Add CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-sbin-perm=0755.
Remove tcp_wrappers bl3.mk, configure doesn't check for it,
and even if explicitly enabled, build breaks.
Ride recent PKGREVISION bump.
