Hello,<br>
<br>
As part of the website redesign (still in progress), we have also
reworked the Bacula manuals to fix the broken links between the 5
documents as well as to include a new more modern cover page.
Hopefully before the end of March when the next Bacula release is
scheduled (it may be deferred into April if the testing doesn't go
well), I will also have found the time to do a bit of cleanup of the
manual and backport the cleanups/clarifications that we have made to
the Enterprise manual. <br>
<br>
The current manual has bee taken by the Bareos project, and my name
as the principle author was removed, which given that it is the
fruit of 14 years of hard work, is not acceptable to me. To avoid
this in the future, I am considering (90% decided) to switch the
license from the current <strong>GNU Free Documentation License </strong>to
the <b>Community Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International
Public License.<br>
<br>
</b>For you as users, as far as I can see (I am not a lawyer) there
is little difference as the new CC-BY-SA gives you the same rights
and is a Free Software license. The difference is that people who
want to copy or fork it will be required to keep the attributions.
To ensure that the attributions are correct I will start a new
documentation attributions file probably named DOC-AUTHORS which
will contain all the names of the contributors. For those of you
who have contributed with patches, assuming that they were committed
under your name (our current practice), I will pull all such names
from the git repository and start the file with those names.
Obviously, the list I present below needs to be cleaned up a bit,
which I will do before posting the new document, but for the moment,
the contributors are:<br>
