We are going to be making some major changes to the FreeBSD port of Bacula.  
Before we do this, I'm looking for volunteers to test out the changes.

This is a short list of the changes we plan to make:

- bacula-server will require bacula-client.  you cannot install bacula-server 
without bacula-client
- bacula-client and bacula-server will no longer install docs
- all docs are installed only by bacula-docs
- new port added: bacula-client-static (statically linked; so good for rescue 
CDs etc)

Why is bacula-client now required by bacula-server?  A long standing problem 
between the two
ports was they each installed the same shared libraries.  We solved this 
situation by making only bacula-client
install the shared libraries.  This is why bacula-server requires bacula-client.

This change to the shared libraries will avoid the continually reported 
problems when upgrading
Bacula on FreeBSD and not first deleting both bacula-client and bacula-server.

Watch this thread, and I will post a URL from which you can download the 
upgraded ports
and test them.  We'll give you about a week to report any problems.

Also, this is the place to discuss any issues with the above strategies.  :)
