Seems like openSUSE doesn't bother to include sources anymore for building their packages.
I apologize for my mis-assumptions. I never would have guessed that if one had installed the packages from the just built samba-3.6.3, that it would no longer build. By installing the devel packages, samba builds support for ldb and tdb. When the build is run, it creates the ldb support functions in the standard lib64 dir, not the lib64/ldb/* directory where they are placed when you don't have the devel packages installed. Thus the build would fail. Additional failures encountered... noticed that samba tried to use libunwind to give sensible stack dumps, but this doesn't work on openSuSE, as openSuSE disables static builds and part of libunwind (libunwind-ptrace.a) is only build statically. The following documentation and manpages are produced during the build if you have the packages installed. They are deleted by openSuSE: ldbedit.1, ldbmodify.1, ldbrename.1, ldbdel.1, ldbsearch.1, ldbadd.1, ldb.3 talloc.3 tdbrestore.8 (note tdbdump is still there, but info on how to restore is deleted, along with the ldb tools documentation (though the tools are still available -- they just have no documentation installed with them). --------------------- I do not consider the above 'normal'... to install what you have built and then not be able to build it?.... This is why I suggested building with such things installed so they could be turned off in the build options if that is desired. As for why documentation is deleted on included utilities? It's not like I'd be cynical and think it had something to do with wanting to bury functionality.... Especially the ability to restore tdb dumps? Seems a bit mistaken? I.e. is it intentional to delete user documentation? I have noticed a trend where man pages no longer return information but tell you to go read some vague user-manual, but not really giving you a pointer to the info you need... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
