Hi guys,

Well...

When I finally got a breather, I managed to look into this libs3 thing.

https://salsa.debian.org/bacula-team/bacula-libs3/-/commit/451cd1223bf22f72761330b22c72a6e7e2db0b7f

This will build packages with /usr/lib/bacula as location.
The whole Makefile is a bit cowboy style and the process doesn't follow
Debian packaging as it should (control file is a weird, rules file
doesn't exist...)

I can only presume the idea is to take this upstream src and, at the
end, make it part of something more meaningful, but you know what they
say about presumptions.

With that in mind, I didn't want to spend time polishing it for now.
I just located where the bodies are buried and managed to do some
changes and not to cause pkgs content overlapping.


How do we proceed from here? What is a general idea how this libs3
should be:
- named
- installed to proper location X (is /usr/lib/bacula ok? what about the
other files in those packages?)
- actually packaged (a proper debian/control and other files should be
written based on upstream source, instead of running "make deb" within
upstream src).

So... How do we proceed?

Thnx!

Best regards,
