Package: release-notes

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.

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.

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
