[Mageia-dev] Samba update to 3.5.8

Fri May 13 12:16:34 CEST 2011

I have finally got a bit of time to get busy with Mageia packaging (my first 
+VM was on virtio disk on Mandriva 2010.1/kvm, and there seem to be some 
+corruption problems, I finally got time to reinstall it yesterday).
+
+Since I have just finished samba/samba4 updates in Cooker, I would like to 
+update Cauldron to the same.
+
+Specifically, what we miss between 3.5.5+CVE is:
+
+
+New in 3.5.8:
+o  Fix Winbind crash bug when no DC is available (bug #7730).
+o  Fix finding users on domain members (bug #7743).
+o  Fix memory leaks in Winbind (bug #7879).
+o  Fix printing with Windows 7 clients (bug #7567).
+
+New in 3.5.6:
+  o Fix smbd panic on invalid NetBIOS session request (bug #7698).
+  o Fix smbd crash caused by "%D" in "printer admin" (bug #7541).
+  o Fix crash bug with invalid SPNEGO token (bug #7694).
+  o Fix Winbind internal error (bug #7636).
+
+Unfortunately, "samba features", if absent, are usually "samba bugs", such as 
+printing with Windows 7 clients etc.
+
+If this is viable, I will try and commit updates to the following in svn 
+between now and 15h00 UTC:
+
+-tdb 1.2.9 (done)
+-ldb 1.1.0 (import)
+-samba-3.5.8
+-samba4alpha15 (alpha11 was imported about 2 days before I finished alpha15 in 
+Mandriva)
+
+Please let me know if I should go ahead. tdb should be pushed in the meantime 
+in this case.
+
+Regards,
+Buchan
