Here are some quick thoughts, below.
I propose the following changes to the Samba 4 recipe:
o drop the 4 prefix, Fedora is considering the same [2]:
"As samba4 is a superset of Samba 3 packages in Fedora,
What does that bit mean, exactly? Are you sure it applies here, ie, will
Samba 4 really be a superset of Samba 3 packages?
AFAIK, Fedora is a fast-running distro, they might not care as much for
stability.
we are also considering to discuss
renaming samba4 back to samba. As all existing API and ABI for
smbd/nmbd/winbindd and
libsmbclient library will be the same, the switch is not going to be
problematic. However,
there is still need to stabilize code through beta and pre-releases before doing
that."
o add the following packages:
CSWsamba-common ... common files
CSWsamba-lib ... Samba libraries
CSWsamba-dc ... the new Samba 4 AD DC stuff
CSWsamba-dc-libs ... libraries for CSWsamba-dc
CSWlibtdb1 ... present in Samba 3, but missing in 4
CSWlibwbclient0 ... present in Samba 3, but missing in 4
CSWlibsmbclient0 ... present in Samba 3, but missing in 4
CSWlibsmbsharemodes0 ... present in Samba 3, but missing in 4
CSWsamba-nss-system-links ... present in Samba 3, but missing in 4
CSWsamba-pam-system-links ... present in Samba 3, but missing in 4
So there, how do you handle having packages with the same names but
different origins? How will it impact people willing to stay on Samba 3
for the time being?
The expactation is that users of the current Samba 3 package should
be able to upgrade to Samba 4 in filesserver/NT DC mode without
issues. Anyone who wants to run a AD DC must perform a manual setup
as described in the Samba docs. There will be no support for
auto-running the new samba AD controller process from init/SMF.
Does that mean that process is run automatically by the regular SMF once
it's configured appropriately?
