At least apt / dpkg let's you install the sources for self-compiling.
I'm trying hard not to comment on what I think about this issue, to keep this
thread from becoming a flamewar on licenses.
So, from the practical aspect of this, I understand Kern removed all 3rd party
code that was involved in this issue and changed the license, hence the issue
is removed?
Can I expect Bacula packages to be compiled with OpenSSL and / or gnutls
support in future Debian / Debian based distributions (e.g. Lenny or Ubuntu
8.10)?
My problem is, that I am running quite a few systems with different os on them
and am not really willing to compile bacula-fd on each system, but if that is,
what it takes to run bacula, then of course I'll do so (better than considering
zmanda) ;-)
Cheers,
Philipp
