samba - Sep 2020 - Upgrading samba on Buster

Hi,

I am trying Louis' samba packages on one of my DC's running Buster. The
current
samba version is 4.11.11 and I want to upgrade it to 4.11.latest.

I seem to remember that Louis posted that there were some extra steps with
some magic apt/apt-get/dpkg incantations that were sometimes required but I
cannot seem to find the instructions on Google.

I do not remember if the instructions were version specific or if the extra
steps were always required.

Can someone please tell me what the proper apt/apt-get/dpkg commands are to
to do a minor samba version upgrade?

FWIW, this is my first attempt at using a Debian based system.

Regards,

Hai Tom, 

All packages where possible will get this security update. 
Im working from latest versions and OS down. 
It only take a bit more time to build them all and test them. 
But builds are running. 

If you want to do this upgrade yourself, this one is pretty easy. 

# Enable my repo and the sources. 

apt update

apt source samba
# This gets the older version. 
# And the new version
wget https://download.samba.org/pub/samba/stable/samba-4.11.13.tar.gz 
# extract it. 
# copy the debian folder into the newer samba version. 
cp samba-4.11.11/debian samba-4.11.13/

# Some packages needed to build. 
apt-get install fakeroot devscripts build-essential

# get samba build dependecies
apt-get build-dep samba

cd samba-4.11.13/
editor debian/changelog
Or, 
dch -i  
# is better, just not sure if its installed with above. 

# Update the change log, copy the previes part, 
# change the version and dates and signer. 
# save 

dpkg-buildpackage -B


Should do it. 
And a simple setup for a file repo.

But packages will come in coming days.

I am thinking I was not clear. Sorry.

I have no problem waiting for you to release the latest and greatest. Thanks
for that!

I am new to the Debian world and I seem to remember in the past you posted
extra commands for upgrading to the next samba release.

On Red Hat systems with rpms, it is simply yum update and reboot when it is
done.  On Debian based systems it seems more complex/confusing.  Google shows
things like apt-get update && apt-get upgrade. Is that enough or is
there
something more that needs to be done for a samba DC?

Not sure why it is necessary to do an update and upgrade but whatever. I just
do not want to bork things.

Yes, thats sufficient normaly.

What you saw where these. 
apt update  - update the package list and versions in cache localy.
apt upgrade - upgrade packages. (optional --autoremove --purge) 

--autoremove remove unused packages (related to other packages you removed) 
--purge cleanup any leftover files

And the option. 
apt dist-upgrade
If a packages needs an extra package that isnt installed yet, it stalls, 
This might prevent you from breaking the system or it did break it. 

Then dist-upgrade is the option. 
( prefered with  --autoremove --purge ) 

I hope that explains abit. 

Greetz, 

Louis
