Hi!
I imported the new upstream, fuzzed about with the patches.
Two things remain:
1) DB update/install scripts. I _tried_ to understand how it works now
and I _tried_ to remember what we/Carsten did the last time, but I
failed utterly.
2) OpenSSL 4.0 compatibility
There is a new "get-os" utility that is also used via the protocol and
expected in the path, so it is currently installed via bacula-common in
/usr/sbin/get-os, but the rather generic name gives me pause.
It should be in /usr/libexec/bacula, IMHO.
I use dh-exec to rename bacula-bat on installation time, as that seems
way less brittle than trying to fiddle with the upstream build-system or
manually renaming the file via debian/rules. And we already depend on
dh-exec, so no additional B-D was added.
Grüße,
Sven.
