Bacula is a set of computer programs that permit you (or the system
administrator) to manage backup, recovery, and verification of
computer data across a network of computers of different kinds.
In technical terms, it is a network Client/Server based backup program.
Bacula is relatively easy to use and efficient, while offering many
advanced storage management features that make it easy to find and
recover lost or damaged files. Due to its modular design, Bacula is
scalable from small single computer systems to systems consisting of
hundreds of computers located over a large network.

Upgrade to 2.2.0
This release contains significant speed improvments.
This Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at the same time,
but they should be compatible with all 2.0.x File daemons, unless you
use some of the new features that affect the FD. In other words, you should
not have to upgrade all your File daemons when you upgrade.
There is no database upgrade needed from version 2.0.x to 2.2.0.
The major new features are:
- Much faster insertion of attributes (somewhere around 10 times),
many thanks to Eric Bollengier and Marc Cousin.
- First release of bat (Bacula Administration Tool). Note to build
bat you must explicitly enable it on the ./configure line, you
must have the Qt4 version 4.2 or later libraries loaded, the qwt
(Qt Graphics) package loaded, and qmake and the other Qt4 tools
must be available. Most of the implementation was done by Dirk Bartley.
- Red/Black restore in memory tree (500 times faster loading).

- Set --mandir and --infodir in CONFIGURE_ARGS if the configure script
supports them. This is determined by running ``configure --help'' in
do-configure target and set the shell variable _LATE_CONFIGURE_ARGS
which is then passed to CONFIGURE_ARGS.
- Remove --mandir and --infodir in ports' Makefile where applicable
Few ports use REINPLACE_CMD to achieve the same effect, remove them too.
- Correct some manual pages location from PREFIX/man to MANPREFIX/man
- Define INFO_PATH where necessary
- Document that .info files are installed in a subdirectory relative to
PREFIX/INFO_PATH and slightly change add-plist-info to use INFO_PATH and
subdirectory detection.

Add some patches to upgrade scripts so that PostgreSQL database permissions
are correct. When upgrading and using PostgreSQL, be sure to run first the
update_postgresql_tables and then the grant_postgresql_privileges script.
These patches have been sent upstream, and are in CVS, but not yet released.
Bump PORTREVISION.

The patch will prevent the Director for crashing or hanging ( depending on
your OS) whenever you do a "reload" command or whenever there is a sudden clock
shift, which occurs much more often than one would imagine.

o) Fix install and pkg-plist problems due to split of bacula into -client and
-server ports. The install process of bacula only knows client only
(but it's not clean) and a full install.

o) Don't report deinstall message (manually deletion of directory)
if it's useless, i.e. the dir could be removed automatically.
