How do you want us to test it?
http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs/Samba has already some pieces regarding testing. The goal is to use smbtorture of Samba 4 for regression testing. Each new Samba packages has to pass the same tests as the previous version. That's in mind since quite some time.
You mentioned OBS , but there are no packages there yet.
That's on our todo. We're not sure yet regarding this. Currently we have packages for all maintained SUSE Linux products and architectures. But OBS only provides a subset of these. PPC and s390 stuff is missing for example. We also have to integrate OBS with our current subversion driven packaging approach. There speccreate[1] is utilized to generate all spec files from a common 'meta' spec file. This was required due to the formerly missing BuildRequires. But first we need packages of 3.2.0 pre 2.
We have already loaded the packages on a openSUSE10.3 laptop and done a "net join" from the command line. After 5 minutes of use it seems ok :-)
Please keep bugzilla busy.
We will try to write a few words on the SAMBA pages in the wiki when we have c ompleted the testing.
As soon as it makes sense we split of a http://en.opensuse.org/Testing/Samba as Andreas did for Bugs. Or did you had something different additions in mind?
