Hi, since quite some years Samba binaries for SUSE products are provided at ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/samba/ in an old-fashioned way. Several times in the recent past we, the Novell Samba Team, go the request to maintain Samba in the openSUSE Build Service (OBS). Thanks to Ludwig Nussel who gave an intensive hands on session some weeks ago this service is now up and in continous operation. Currently we have STABLE (3.0.30) and TESTING (3.2.0rc2) projects for CentOS, Fedora, Mandriva, RedHat Enterprise (RHEL), SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE), and openSUSE. http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/samba:/MAINTAINED:/ provides dedictaed repositories with the Samba versions in use with SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE) products. At the moment there are repositories for SLE 9 and 10. http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/samba:/ is a generic entry point and provides an overview of the current project structure. http://software.opensuse.org/search might be convenient too. All the package sources are useable by YaST, zypper, yum, or smart. http://en.opensuse.org/Samba provides general information about Samba at SUSE. For bug reporting see http://en.openSUSE.org/Bugs/Samba To provide the openSUSE community and all SUSE and Samba users a current, reliable and high level service we encourage you to provide feedback and to file bug reports. Additionally the OBS provides a convenient way to collaborate. Our customers, our products, our responsibility. Have a lot of fun...
