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.

Of course I agree with you and I'm sure Timur did his best to achieve this.

Currently there are 49 patch files in the 4.8 port.
I really hope most of them is not needed anymore, but that's something 
someone who wants to compile 4.10 should check, because they might not 
only address compile-time errors, but also silent problems which will 
haunt you badly once you run Samba in a production environment.

Thank You very much Guys!! I Appreciate the information.
Cordially,
Fabricio.
