Better start out with a hard masked package at least for some time! The |
| 8 |
implications of the (IMHO horrible) upstream failure of maintaining |
| 9 |
downward compatibility on a distributed application will inevitably hit |
| 10 |
somebody hard, if we do not prevent emerge -u world from switching one |
| 11 |
Bacula client or server to 1.38 without taking care of the others... |

Probably the only thing we could do about it (as slotting is as |
| 14 |
impracticable as a network-wide forced upgrade) would be to install |
| 15 |
1.38.x to a temporary path, and provide a script to switch it alive |
| 16 |
manually, to be sure the admins in question have at any rate noticed |
| 17 |
that they may just be cutting their clients off from the backup system. |
| 18 |
If you are willing to go that way, I'd lend a hand. |
