Are there any news on an updated bacula package?
ABacula 2.4.0 just released a few days ago...
I have reason to believe a bacula 2.4.0 build should hit rawhide in the fairly near future...

Reason to believe. I hacked together a 2.4.0 rawhide build that I handed off to Andreas, which should save him some time when rebasing. It was still in need of some clean-up though. nb: I'm not actually a maintainer on the package, just someone who had need/desire to poke at it for a bit, but Andreas did express desire for a co-maintainer on irc...
I see. Well, I've made the request in pkgdb. Once it's approved, I'd be more than happy to take a look at what you've got. Seems to me F-9 should move to 2.2.8, as perhaps should F-8, and 2.4.0 for rawhide. Objections/suggestions/discussion welcome.
The fairly near future does not seem to be arriving... It would be very nice if Fedora wasn't 2 releases behind on Bacula. Jon Ciesla, you're still stuck in "Awaiting review"?
True. I have absolutely no desire to initiate an AWOL Maintainer process, but I am a bit baffled. Andreas, would you be so kind as to approve my pkgdb request for co-maintainership, so I can assist with some of the open bugs for Bacula?
FYI, I'm now a comaintainer, starting work on 2.2.8 and 2.4.1. . .
Its probably not 100% correct, and Andreas had some things he wanted to integrate, but I have a working 2.4.1 build I've been using for the past month and a half or so, which you're free to do with as you please if it helps, or just ignore it, or whatever... :) http://wilsonet.com/packages/bacula/bacula-2.4.1-1.src.rpm
Grabbed. Thanks! I'll at very least refer to it, if not rip it off outright. With credit given, naturally. :)
Testing my 2.2.8 build now. If it looks good I'll build this for rawhide and F-9 updates-testing, then build and test 2.4.1. Sorry for the delay, my build machine is not the fastest. . .
