samba - Apr 2019 - SAMBA 48 - Dependencies Python27 vs python36

Hi Andrew,
Thanks much for the message.

As I am using FreeBSD 12, that´s the latest SAMBA version available via PKG
support, although I know it's possible to compile the ver 4.10
Would you mind let me know where to get its Source code and possibly some DOC
material for FreeBSD compiling?
I will definitively give it a try.

Thanks Once again!!! Much appreciated!

Fabricio.

No, you need to upgrade to Samba 4.10 to get Python 3.x support.

This, along with many other good reasons, is why we put so much effort into
Python 3.x support, and we would love to see it being used.

Thanks,

I guess you could have a look at the net/samba48 port and use that as a 
base to create a new one.
If you are not interested in creating a full port, but want Samba 4.10 
up as quickly as possible, at least you'll find a lot of patches which 
were needed for 4.8 and are possibly useful for 4.10: remove them and 
add new ones as needed.

However, I suppose others might already be working on this, so I suggest 
you don't waste your time in a duplicate effort, but rather contact the 
maintainer and ask about the current status.



As a side note, I tend to run Samba (as well as all other non trivial 
software) in their own jail, so their dependencies won't conflict with 
other software.
Beware, however, that there are some bugs wrt to Samba in a jail, which 
need to be worked around.

HTH.

  bye
	av.

Timur did submit a lot of patches upstream, so there should be less
needed.  The Samba Team strongly encourages those packaging Samba not
to maintain local patches, and if they must do so only after the
patches have been submitted and accepted upstream for master. 

This helps reduce the divergence and maintenance overhead in the long-
term.

I've CC'ed Timur.
