samba - Jun 2017 - switch from 32bit to 64bit

Hi,

I plan to copy /usr/local/samba from 32bit Ubuntu 14.04 to 64bit Devuan 
1.0, and then just recompile Samba. Should this work, or are there any 
differences in database or other internal files between 32bit and 64bit 
versions of Samba?

If I also want to switch from NT4-PDC to AD-DC, should I first switch to 
64bit, or is the order of these two changes irrelevant?

thanks,
Klaus

You don't need to compile Samba on Devuan to get the latest Version,
don't tell Louis, but his packages work on Devuan as well ;-)

I don't think it matters, but as always, try testing it in a test VM
