[Mageia-dev] Samba update to 3.5.8

Fri May 13 12:28:45 CEST 2011

'Twas brillig, and Buchan Milne at 13/05/11 11:16 did gyre and gimble:
+> 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.
+
+While this is very late in the cycle, the changes to samba look like
+bugfixes to me and the samba4alpha package is likely one we can push
+through the freeze anyway due to it's nature.
+
+So IMO the only question is the tdb and ldb. Are these just bug fixes
+too? (as ldb is an import it's less of an issue - is it just needed for
+samba4?)
