I'm considering it, but considering my last bug report caused by having the samba-packages, just built, installed, was closed out as 'ínvalid', because I didn't build in a sterile environment, I don't have alot of hope for the bugs getting serious treatment.
You need to file this in the SAMBA bugtracker. I, as an openSUSE packager, would also refuse to fix such upstream bugs as long as it works with the recommended way to build for the distribution.
Simply because my time is limited and there are lots of more important (IMVHO) bugs to fix.
They regard a fully installed SuSE system as "dirty". Contaminated.
That's a bad attitude for a Distribution vendor who's job is to make it all work together. If they can't they need to drop incompatible packages they can't support.
A "Distribution Vendor" (== the openSUSE community) cannot fix all upstream bugs, no matter how obscure they are.
If you would complain about the distro packages not working, that would be a different issue. But the distro packages are working AFAICT, it is just that you don't like the way they are built.
Oh -- and patches are of course also very welcome. Probably more than insulting and alienating the people who could help you on this list... :-)
