Er, this bug report only mentioned that you wanted the headers to be available in a binary package in the archive, not that you intended to get separate Samba VFS module packages included in Debian. I don't think the latter is supportable, for all the stated reasons, and would work with the ftp team to keep such packages out of testing/stable. > If you consider the vulnerability window between publishing a Samba security > upgrade and following (uncontrolled by you) module upgrade, then merging the > module in the Samba tree probably would be the only way to develop such > module package. Development doesn't need to happen inside the Samba tree, but for distribution as part of Debian, yes. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
