This is a major security and bug fix release. We suggest everyone to upgrade as soon as possible. Note it replaces version 9.6.4, which was withdrawn due to some incorrect copyrights and some missing image files.
One significant improvement is for the AWS S3 cloud driver. First the ode base has been brought much closer to the Enterprise version (still a long ways to go). Second is that the community code now uses the latest version of libs3 as maintained by Bacula Systems. The libs3 code is available as a tar file for Bacula version 9.6.4 at:
www.bacula.org/downloads/libs3-20200523.tar.gz
Version 9.6.5 must be compiled with the above libs3 version or later.
To build libs3:
- Remove any libs3 package loaded by your OS
- Download above link
- tar xvfz libs3-20200523.tar.gz
- cd libs3-20200523
- make # should have no errors
- sudo make install
Then when you do your Bacula ./configure it should automatically detect and use the libs3. The output from the ./configure will show whether or not libs3 was found during the configuration. E.g.
S3 support: yes
in the output from ./configure.
