Building the current Fedora-Specfile on EL5 does require tweaking.

Well. If you take a closer look at the specfile you'll see that it's a
rather big mess with support vor various rpm-based distros. 

The Fedora-Specfile is close to what a RHEL-Spec would look like if
bacula was included in RHEL (which I hope it'll be in the future).

Additionally being able to yum install is much more convenient than
installing a build-environment on some machine to build packages.

According to bacula.org "Version 3.0.3 is primarily a important bug fix
update to version 3.0.2.". Which sounds like that is what I want to run
if I want bacula 3 (even without looking at the fixed bugs and crashes).
