G'day Louis,
> The Debian Stretch packages for samba 4.8.7 are now available for amd64 and
i386.
When I tried to rebuild debian stretch 4.8.7 packages using your repo 
today, I came across an issue and it seems that your 
stretch-samba48/main/source/Sources.gz is missing the reference of cmoka 
1.1.1 entry (otherwise apt-get source downloads 1.0.1 version and the 
build fails miserably). And actually the dsc and tar.xz are there just 
waiting to be downloaded :-)

By the way, looking at this cmocka issue, I was looking at third-party 
stuff in the build, since cmocka is in itself not a Samba packages. That 
may be a question more appropriate for samba dev, but I was wondering if 
the third-party folder in samba tarball is safe to ignore and always 
take upstream?

thanks a lot for your hard dedicated works.

Cheers,

Denis

I'll have a quick look and ahhh.. I've seen whats going on here. 
The package is/was available, just not in the stretch-samba48 ( it was in the
4.7 )
The latest builds took the files from cache, so cleaned that up, wont happen
again.
I've updated the repo so you can use the files now. 
And.. p.s.  cmocka 1.1.1 is also in stretch-backports, that where i took this
one from.

This totaly depends on the build depends and whats done on samba.

What i do, so you can understand better how i get to my builds.
I follow samba-technical to keep track of whats done on samba and debian-samba
and regulary check the debian samba package for fixes.
And use as much from the stable debian repo where possible. 

These first 2 are the most important, because latest upstream is not always what
you need.
For example, have a look at ldb:  https://ftp.samba.org/pub/ldb/?C=M;O=D
We see here 1.4.3 but also 1.5.1 and 1.3.6. 

And check what is needed ( minimal ) versions
grep ^VERSION lib/{talloc,tdb,tevent,ldb}/wscript
grep minversion buildtools/wafsamba/samba_third_party.py | awk -F"("
'{ print $2 }'
But read of there isnt also a "maximun" version.

Once i know the versions needed, im checking here the following.
The debian samba experimental/unstable packages, if these are there i use these
where possible.
And the git of https://salsa.debian.org/samba-team/samba 

And based on need, im getting the sources. 
This is the build order im using. 
talloc tevent tdb cmocka lmdb-jessie ldb nss-wrapper resolv-wrapper uid-wrapper
socket-wrapper pam-wrapper samba

The "wrappers" are bit harder to find but found here :
https://ftp.samba.org/pub/cwrap/?C=M;O=D

Based on all above info, then i deside whats good for a stable build. 
Latest is not always best.
