bareos-vmware-plugin missing in SLES12

[Peter Allgeyer]

Hello!

I wanted test Bareos VMware Plugin on SLES 12 SP4 but didn't found the required packages:

https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/sys-deb/SLE_12_SP4/x86_64/

The documentation told me, that it should be there:

https://docs.bareos.org/master/Appendix/OperatingSystems.html

Can anybody tell me why it has been gone?

best regards

Still missing the vmware-plugin. Can anybody tell me, who is responsible for building the SLES packages?

best regards

That is not our repository, you'll have to ask the OpenSUSE people about
these packages.

That information might be simply wrong.

I'm not sure. As far as I can tell the latest SLES with VMware plugin
packages was SLES12SP3 - and I'm not sure these were installable tbh.

I don't think we will spend time building these for SLES 12 again unless
a support customer asks for it.

Best Regards,
Andreas

Thanks a lot, Andreas, for clarifying that. 

Since we wanted to evaluate the vmware plugin, we'll have to change the distribution. That's ok for evaluation.
