Good morning Adolf,

Hallo Michael,
I wasn't sure how to add additional comments to a patch that weren't intended to go into the git repository. So I sent a separate e-mail with subject "bacula add-on". Sorry for probably causing confusion.
No worries. I guess we are all trying to understand what everyone is doing.
Patchwork is really messy at the moment. We are shipping big releases, and many of patches remain in there because they do not fit into the releases any more - simply because of disk space. With the next release turn, there might already be more urgent things that have lined up… This time another wonderful CPU vulnerability presented by Intel.
This patch is an update from 9.0.6 to 9.6.5 and as the patch from 9.0.6 had not yet been merged I mentioned in the other email that the previous patch should be removed from patchwork and this one used.
Ideally submit another release as an extra patch that then can only be merged when the first one was matched. That makes it easier to review individual changes instead of reviewing one large patch that is growing larger and larger.
Since then Jan Lentfer responded to my email and highlighted a situation that could occur if people have an earlier version of the bacula director/storage daemons running. This can happen for example with distros that are slow to upgrade to newer versions or that aim to have very stable unchanging packages.
I think that email did not make it to the list - or I have missed it.
Bacula will usually (though they do not guarantee it) work with an older File daemon package but not with a newer version. So with my patch to bring bacula in IPFire up-to-date then there could be people whose systems would stop working with the File daemon on IPFire as their backup server has an earlier version of the director/storage daemons.
After thinking about it for a while I have concluded that the best thing is to leave IPFire with version 9.0.6 of the File daemon, i.e. the status quo, and remove all my bacula patches from patchwork. Looking through the bacula release history it looks like 9.0.6 is expected to work with the current released director/storage daemons. If that ever changes then we can decide what to do with it at that time.
If the upstream project decides to break compatibility there is nothing we can do about it. We can delay shipping a broken version for a brief while, but we cannot remain on an unmaintained release for years.
Hence I will merge your last patch and mark the others as superseded. They are no longer needed.
I still have no idea what you are trying to do in the scripts, but I guess we can hope for the best :)
I will continue installing the latest version of bacula as a locally built add-on as I have been doing for some time as all my bacula systems are built from source so I can easily keep them aligned. I will also keep an eye out for if a release indicates that a file daemon update is required.
So my proposal now is to remove, or reject all of my bacula patches that are in patchwork.
I would rather prefer that you keep sending those patches when you are updating the software. Nobody else is taking care of this package right now and the only other option would be to remove it then, which I wouldn’t really want.
Best, -Michael
All the best,
Adolf.

Hello Adolf,
Thank you very much for submitting this patch.
I am slightly losing track of all the bacula patches, so please help me to understand.
The last patch that was sent was n update to 9.6.3, v2:
https://lists.ipfire.org/pipermail/development/2020-May/007779.html
What has changed since then? Is this just an update from 9.6.3 to 9.6.5? This won’t merge then if the previous patch is being merged.

You are saying what you have changed, but not why. Please see my questions below.

I am looking forward to be able to merge this soon and I am happy that you are taking care of this add-on which has been neglected.
:)
