Thus, changes to > baucla-client version numbers can be gleaned from bacula-server. sysutils/bacula-server is currently 3.0.0 and sysutils/bacula-server-devel is 2.5.42.b2. > If you need the 2.x branch, get it from CVS.

At that time we can prepare the bacula2 ports which will track the 2.x line of development. -- WXS
