samba - Apr 2016 - Upgrade from 4.2.10 Sernet packages to 4.4.2 selfcompiled

Hi,

is there a "How to" for upgrading a DC from 4.2.10 Sernet packages to 
Samba 4.4.2 self compiled on a debian system?

I think there are two options?

Replace the sernet file:
1. Compile Samba 
(https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Build_Samba_from_source) with the 
paths given by smbd -b
2. make install
But what happens to the sernet packages/repository handled by the 
package manager?

Use default path and copy all database files:
1. Compile Samba 
(https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Build_Samba_from_source) with the 
default options
2. make install
3. Copy all files
There could be some problems with hard links as far as I now.

Regards
Andreas

As far as I know sernet comes with their own way of setting the env and path for
samba4 so it could be difficult or just not possible
to trigger all right. It would be better to do a fresh install. Or to pay sernet
fort he update.
Compiled packages can be updated without issues.
