I'm the maintainer of Bacula in Fedora and I've been providing
repositories for both Bacula 5.x and Bacula 7.x. These are the
repositories, based on rebuilt packages that are in Fedora rawhide:
I am setting up a new backup server with Bacula 7.0.5 on RHEL7. I am going to
compile it from the source code. Everything is fine but just systemd
integration.
Might I ask you what kind of settings you need that requires custom compilation of Bacula 7.0.5 on RHEL?
I would like to know what your requirements are regarding the packages,
so maybe we can integrate what you need in the official packages. It's
something I've been doing during the past years with various users. You can check the changelog of the Bacula packages in the official RHEL 7 channels, there's my name in.
In the configuration options, I use "--with-systemd=/usr/lib/systemd/system"
After "make" command has been ended, I run the "make install" but
unfortunately
there is no systemd unit file copied by the bacula installation under the
/usr/lib/systemd/system directory.
I thought it was needed to run "make install-autoconf". With this way
only SysV init files are copied.
Fedora/RHEL packages carry a different systemd unit file for daemons, those in the Bacula source code are much more generic (as they need to work on more distributions), while the provided ones are much more specific. You can check the package contents here:
