New question #79252 on bacula in ubuntu:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bacula/+question/79252

In an effort to keep ahead of the curve, I'd like to request an update on the repos for the Bacula tools (mainly Director), as it appears in rawhide that Bacula 3.0.2 already exists for Fedora (and will probably end up being implemented in Fedora 12).

We have Jaunty amd64 server edition running our Bacula Director.  

One of the ongoing issues today is that Version 2.4.4 doesn't support Vista x64 or Windows Server 2008 x64 clients due to VSS 64-bit incompatibilities.  The Bacula developers have resolved these VSS 64-bit matters in their latest releases, however, the packages on shown Ubuntu server's repos are 2.4.4 still, and we'd rather stick to package updates when concerning the Bacula Director.

I heard that someone may be working on this already, and if this is a cross question, I apologize, but is there an ETA on when 3.0.2 might be released as a package?
