Why are so many modules disabled in the Webmin PKGBUILD?

I was wondering why so many modules are disabled in the Webmin PKGBUILD. I'm especially wondering about the bacula-backup module. I use the module and it works fine... why go through the trouble of removing it?

the bacula-backup module is listed as a 3rd party module on the webmin-site, this may be the reason why it is removed.

Myabe ask this question on the arch-general mailing list ?

No it isn't, it's a standard module.

My mistake, but imo the arch general mailing list still is the best place to ask this question (or you could create a feature request for the module in the bugtracker https://bugs.archlinux.org/)

Re: Why are so many modules disabled in the Webmin PKGBUILD?

Thanks Lone_Wolf. I'll do that next time. I e-mailed the developer about this one and it looks like the removal of modules in the PKGBUILD was a historical decision because certain packages (bacula, shorewall, etc.) were not supported (AUR, unsupported, I guess) or not known to work without significant tweaks. I think he's willing to change this for certain modules if the software is supported and the modules work well out of the box.
