There are a few changes in samba packaging for trixie which are worth mentioning in the release notes. The changes are mentioned in the NEWS files in the package. samba (2:4.20.1+dfsg-2) unstable; urgency=medium Active Directory Domain Controller (AD-DC) functionality has been split out of main samba (the file server) package into its own separate package named samba-ad-dc. This includes the samba binary, the startup files and a few support executables. Please additionally install samba-ad-dc package if you need AD-DC functionality on your system. -- Michael Tokarev <[email protected]> Sun, 26 May 2024 13:44:07 +0300 samba-vfs-modules (2:4.20.2+dfsg-3) unstable; urgency=medium samba-vfs-modules package has been dropped in this release. Instead, all common vfs modules are now part of regular samba package, so are always installed (so there is not need to install samba-vfs-modules for, say, wide links = yes to work, ad-dc always works too and so on). At the same time, glusterfs and ceph vfs modules are now shipped in their own separate packages, samba-vfs-glusterfs and samba-vfs-ceph (samba-vfs-glusterfs in universe in ubuntu). If you need ceph or glusterfs functionality, please install samba-vfs-ceph and/or samba-vfs-glusterfs package(s) separately. -- Michael Tokarev <[email protected]> Mon, 24 Jun 2024 12:48:23 +0300 While samba-vfs-modules removal is not actually very important to have in the release notes, but samba-ad-dc becoming required for the AD-DC functionality is definitely worth mentioning. Plus the split of the two vfs modules packages. It would be nice if this is mentioned for trixie. Thanks, /mjt
