There's none unfortunately.
Isn't the point of factory that you experiment with the packages and then put them into a stable repository at some point? If there is no such stable repository, then we all end up using factory.
 

The most stable I know are located here
http://www.dass-it.de/download/dassit-bacula-rpm-repositories-1
Right, I was using that one and reported some bugs against it and was told by the maintainer to use the version in factory.

 


and certainly the 5.0.3 version, the 5.2 is inherited for the factory repository and are less stable for sure.
but there's no build actually for the 11.4 nor 12.1

Sorry for that.
