I’ve posted some updated binary installers (zipped .pkg files) for bacula 2.2.0 for Mac OS X (the file daemon only). There are installers for both PowerPC and Intel. Be aware that they are statically linked for Mac OS X 10.4 only.
Please also note that these installers will overwrite your bacula-fd.conf file so make a backup before running. I hope you all find them useful.
Bacula 2.2.0 Intel
Bacula 2.2.0 PowerPC

Obviously that presents a problem if certain pieces of software expect your auto changer to located at a certain device node in /dev.
This can be fixed by making a custom udev rule…
