So you imply that it will take quite a while before Samba 4.18 gets into Bookworm backports? In that case I will consider the appropriate packages from Michael's repository. Thanks for the information, every bit helps. Best regards, Peter

I use experimental just because debian is frozen now, and uploading new stuff not targetting bookworm to unstable will be difficult to handle. It is debian internals, nothing to worry about. The bottom line is that I'll upload 4.18 to debian unstable right after the bookworm release, and that will be the day bookworm-backports will open too. The unstable release, which is well-polished already will migrate to testing within 5 days, and that's when 4.18 will be available in bookworm-backports too. It is not that 4.18 in debian is "experimental" in status, it is just because the freeze that makes uploading new to unstable more difficult, so all preparations are temporarily done in experimental. If we weren't in freeze, I'd upload 4.18 to unstable and it'd be already available in bullseye-backports too. /mjt
