Hi, I just wonder why my yum repos only shows samba 3.0.14a which is quite old. Do I have to set up a special repo for the samba packages? And yes I know that I should use rpm and I usually do that but I want to install an old version and I only find the latest rpm in the download area. Cheers, Henrik

For example in CentOS4, samba versions does not update to the latest samba release, instead, they just patch the samba version that is shipped with the distro to mantain compatibility. Your only solucion is to download the latest version from samba.org or as you said, configure a new repo where the latest version of samba is available HTH Oliver -- Oliver Schulze L. <oliver@samera.com.py>
Hi Oliver, I did a new rpm --import and after som tweaking a got my repos up to date. Now I can see the latest samba dist in the yum repo. Thanks for your help. //Henrik 29 dec 2005 kl. 17:59 skrev Oliver Schulze L.:> Henrik Zagerholm wrote: >> Hi, >> I just wonder why my yum repos only shows samba 3.0.14a which is >> quite old. >> Do I have to set up a special repo for the samba packages? > Which distro are you using? > For example in CentOS4, samba versions does not update to the > latest samba release, > instead, they just patch the samba version that is shipped with the > distro to mantain > compatibility. > > Your only solucion is to download the latest version from samba.org > or as you said, > configure a new repo where the latest version of samba is available > > HTH > Oliver > > -- > Oliver Schulze L. > <oliver@samera.com.py> >
