In fact, the packager was informed that this release would be made on Thursday, and submitted his packaging changes upstream on Friday (after a successful build on 9.1 and cooker from CVS snapshots), and was downloading the source on 3 different machines (build cluster, home 9.1, work cooker box) before he got to reading this thread (which started while he was sleeping ..). Anyway, for some reason samba3beta1 builds fine on my cooker box (well, my cvs snapshot from Thursday did), but fails on the build cluster, with: In file included from smbd/quotas.c:65: /usr/include/linux/quota.h:48: error: parse error before "qid_t" smbd/quotas.c: In function `get_smb_linux_vfs_quota': smbd/quotas.c:128: error: storage size of `D' isn't known This is with or without the hack used on 9.1 (which I think still works). In fact, this also happened on alpha24 (although I couldn't even get it to build on my own cooker box), which is why there was no alpha24 in cooker. Patches welcome ;-). In the meantime, people who want packages for other releases (before I get to getting packages up to samba.org), please read packaging/Mandrake/README.mandrake, where you will see that building a set of packages is as easy as: $ cd packaging/Mandrake $ sh makerpms.sh Next things that must happen are preparing %pre/%post scripts for migrating configs if necessary, and a better default config file, now that most attributes are more or less finalised.
