I want to upgrade my samba installation from 3.0.9-1.3E.3 to 3.0.20 without breaking anything along the way :) Any suggestions about order of installation? It looks like I will have to nodeps at least some of the packages. I have everything working with our AD environment so I don't want to disturb it if possible.

If not, security updates are backported: http://www.redhat.com/advice/speaks_backport.html So, I would not upgrade beyond the version that is included with CentOS ... If I was going to upgrade because there was a feature I HAD TO HAVE, I would only use other RH based upgrades ... like the one from CentOS-4 or the versions from FC4 or FC5 beta only (and rebuild the RPMS from the SRPMS). -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I would expect that RHEL will adopt it probably soon after 3.0.20b happens. Craig -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
I'm specifically looking at the winbindd improvements. Mine keeps dying. I have a work around but most questions to the samba list get answered with: upgrade to 3.0.20... I am considering upgrading (reinstalling) to centos 4 but that only gets me to 3.0.10. I can wait a bit but upgrading some packages is always is always daunting. chuck -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] On Behalf Of Craig White Sent: Tuesday, September 20, 2005 1:22 PM To: CentOS mailing list Subject: Re: [CentOS] Centos 3 samba upgrade On Tue, 2005-09-20 at 16:14 -0500, Johnny Hughes wrote:> On Tue, 2005-09-20 at 13:07 -0800, Colht, Charles wrote: > > I want to upgrade my samba installation from 3.0.9-1.3E.3 to 3.0.20 > > without breaking anything along the way :) Any suggestions aboutorder> > of installation?
