Greetings- I am wondering if anyone from the Samba team would happen to have interest in creating official builds for Ubuntu? To add a twist, unfortunately I would not be fishing for 7.10 packages, but rather 7.04 as we ran into too many issues with 7.10 whereas 7.04 seems rock solid stable. Or, are there packages built of Samba releases for Ubuntu external to samba.org? Thanks, -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems http://www.lueckdatasystems.com/
Michael, I believe Ubuntu has builds of Samba available through their repositories. Most of the tutorials you can find through a simple search will inform you to use apt-get to pull down samba if you don't already have it installed.

Ubuntu, like Debian, only issue security patches to their packages after a certain distro is released. I am fishing for a place to get the latest Samba versions specifically compiled / packaged for a version if Ubuntu instead of the former method. -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems http://www.lueckdatasystems.com/

Unofficial packages of Samba 3.0.26a for Feisty and 3.0.28 for Gutsy are available in my PPA: http://launchpad.net/~pgquiles/+archive Unofficial 3.0.28 packages for Feisty will be available in a couple of hours there, too. Packages of the latest Samba for the latest Ubuntu-stable (Gutsy, as of now) are usually available in my PPA. Most times they are just backports of the latest Ubuntu-unstable package to Ubuntu-stable but sometimes I'm ahead of Ubuntu-unstable (i. e. they may eat your computer and burn your house :-) -- Pau Garcia i Quiles http://www.elpauer.org (Due to my workload, I may need 10 days to answer)
