samba - Jun 2000 - Binary distributions

I have just finished compiling Samba 2.0.7 and creating HP-UX
swinstallable bundles for both HP-UX 10.20 and 11.00. In both 
cases I compiled with the +DAportable flag so that the linker 
would create PA-RISC 1 code, for hardware portability.

If anybody has a need for pre-compiled HP-UX bundles I'd be
happy to make these available.

I can also compile on AIX 4.3 and SunOS 4.13 / Solaris 2.6 (5.6) 
if you don't already have them pre-compiled. I know how to create 
Solaris pkginstallable bundles, but not how to create AIX packages.

If you have the fileset "bos.html.en_US.prog_gds.prog_bos" from the
"Base Documentation" CD, read this chapter:

  /usr/share/man/info/en_US/a_doc_lib/aixprggd/genprogc/pkging_sw4_install.htm

(Or look in the same location on the CD itself.)

Also you will want to look at `lppbuild', a set of scripts designed to
automate AIX packaging to some degree:

  ftp://aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu/pub/lppbuild/RISC/4.3/src/lppbuild.2.1.tar.Z

I started down this road some time ago, with an eye for coming up with
packaging scripts for Samba and other software I use a lot.  I
concluded that good, clean, professional packaging (i.e. "much more
than just tarballs") is too much trouble to hack up compared to what
else I could be doing with my time. (:
