[Samba] supporting debian-based systems before bookworm and jammy?
Hello Tobias, Ive just upgraded almost all of our debian bookworm to 4.22 using the backports. Our few ubuntu servers are still on MJTs repository, because I face the same issue. IDK where to get fresh packages ... There are something like backports for ubuntu, but I cant find any information which version is on there. Debian has the wonderful website where you can see the software on each repo here: https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/samba I havent found something like that for ubuntu though. Does somebody else know? Have a nice weekend, Matthias. Am 18.07.25 um 11:09 schrieb Pluess, Tobias:> Hello Matthias > I could not find a backport for samba 4.22 on Ubuntu Jammy.
