What's the beef? Do you go aggro like on your employer as well? Maybe you should...
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.
Why don't you change vendor? Gentoo should make you feel at home :)
Hi Everyone,
I think we are back to the days of building stuff ourselves.
I get the feeling that we can't go with openSUSE for the recent Samba packages. Is that still correct? 3.6.3 still doesn't work?
I unistalled the rpm's and got the latest tarball from here: http://ftp.samba.org/pub/samba/samba-3.6.6.tar.gz It builds fine and works great with my old 12.1 smb.conf although I can't see any improvements in terms of speed nor utilities.
OK, configure make and make install takes all of 5 minutes as opposed to a few seconds as opposed to installing the rpm. And you have to have make, gcc, kernel-devel. . .
But it works.
I think the issue is that we want packages to just work without having to compile anything ourselves.
If you thought 3.5 to 3.6 was bad, you ain't seen nothin' yet.
If you have a few hours to spare and for the super adventurous only, dare I suggest building Samba 4 instead?
If we can't get 3.6.3 right, gad help us with 4.0.0 The latest beta5 is here: git clone git://git.samba.org/samba.git samba-master cd samba-master ./configure.developer etc. . . and hold on tight.
... Why? Our samba guys are really good in doing the things you want, e.g. samba 3.6.6 lives in network:samba:STABLE buildservice project ready for use. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
