I want (or think I do) to use git to be able to grab the latest stable release of samba. I do not plan on making any modifications or contributing code back to samba. Looking at the wiki instructions they seem geared to a developer. Are there any writeups on using git to just grab the latest release ? I don't want to rely on a package maintainer to keep me updated. -- David Bear mobile: (602) 903-6476
