They are compiled and tested on AlmaLinux8. The spec file are ported from latest Fedora replacing MIT Kerberos with Heimdal and a dozen other small fixes. Note : they are some libs that may be incompatible with existing stuff (like libldb) so it is better to have a dedicated VM for your DC. You can also take a look at Samba+ rpm packages from SetNet.

Can I ask why you maintain them? Also what are the issues with the incompatible files? My interest is that my distro, ClearOS is looking at AlmaLinux as a possible parent for ClearOS 8, but they need to work on a Directory product. Currently they use OpenLDAP in 7.x, but the EL8 preferred version is Directory 389. ClearOS currently use NT4 domains in 7.x (which Roland rightly complains about), but I'd like to explore Samba AD/DC in 8.x as well as a more conventional LDAP product. At the same time ClearOS is used as a file server and the (strong) recommendation from Samba is not to do AD/DC and file serving on the same box, and, if you must, run one of them in Docker/Podman or a VM. AD/DC upgrades between major versions seem to be best done by running up a new DC and joining it to the old and then demoting the old one. This gives an interesting (problematic) upgrade route on a single box. I'd love to hear any feedback and experiences you have. Nick
Hi, Late to the discussion. My own packages are influenced by Denis' packages and we have been in contact. I don't commercially support them as I'm only doing this for my own use but I try to do a decent job of packaging them on top of RHEL for RHEL and CentOS. (I don't want to have a dependency on EPEL so it means I'm often rebuilding pre-requisites).
