samba - Nov 2002 - Samba3 parallel installable RPMs for Mandrake 9.0

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I have been updating the packaging for Mandrake in HEAD, which means it
is now possible to build RPMs of HEAD which are parallel installable
with Mandrake RPMs of 2.2.x. Of course, you can only run one version of
samba on a given interface.

To do this, update to HEAD cvs if your snapshot is older than late
yesterday. then:

$ cd packaging/Mandrake
$ sh makerpms-cvs.sh

If you have all the dependencies, you should have RPMs within 10-20
minutes (depending on the speed of your machine, maybe less for a
1.6GHz+ machine)

This should work on Mandrake 8.x and 9.0, maybe even 7.2.

You may have problems if you haven't compiled RPMS before, please see
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/howtos/mdk-rpm/, specifically sections 3.1
and 3.2. Also, make sure you have rpm-build installed:

# urpmi rpm-build

If you don't feel like building yourself, you can get RPMS for 9.0 here:

http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/mandrake9.0/samba-3.0-cvs/

I will see if I can get the right pieces together to automate builds in
the future.

Please cc me on issues relating to this if you want me to answer before
I get around to reading the digests.

Finally, those running Mandrake cooker (and have a contrib source
available) should be able to get RPMs of 3.0alpha20, by running:

# urpmi samba3-server

Buchan
