samba - Sep 2006 - Fedora packages or Enterprise packages of Samba on

Hello List,

In regards to RPM packages, what is the difference in the prebuilt ones for 
example the FC5 RPM's directly from samba.org or obtaining the latest 
.tar.gz and running ./makerpms.sh for the desired distribution.

Does this way optimize for example - x86-64 or SMP ?

Cheers,
Adrian Sender.

If you need support for the SerNet packages, you will have to contact
SerNet.

The Fedora specfile provided with Samba is compatible with RHEL4.  I don't
build RHEL4 packages only because IMO if you pay for support for RedHat,
installing non-vendor supplied packages would void your support agreement.

Althought I could provide RPMS for the lates version of CentOS which should
be binary comatible with RHEL4 systems.

While I'm at it, is there any pressing need for 64-bit rpms as well?

Generally nothing.  That's pretty much all I do for releases.
