[Samba] Building Samba4 for Debian from Git

2013-06-11 Thread Dominique

Hi,

I am trying to build samba4 for an Ubuntu 12 server, as the provided 
package by Canonical is an alpha version. I got the latest? source from 
git:git clone git://git.samba.org/samba.git samba-master
I then build it from this source (make/configure/maske install) and it 
worked. However, I realized that I neededto package it for Ubuntu to 
recognize the install and not offer to install it when other programs 
looked for samba4...


I tried to build a package with git-buildpackage but I got a error for 
missing debian/changelog...
I understand I was missing that file, but not only: debian/rules does 
not seem to be included.


From there I got lost with various how-tos - even the official samba link
git clone git://git.debian.org/pkg-samba/samba4 samba4-unstable

Does not work either...

I am sure there is a way to build a package for the last stable samba4 for 
Ubuntu, but I cant seem to figured it out...

Anyone with some pointers?

Thanks for the help,

Cheers,

Dominique

I wish it was as simple as all that.  We are only now in the final
stages of preparing a package for debian experiemental.  

It is at git://git.debian.org/pkg-samba/samba in the samba_4.0 branch.

It does build with git-buildpackage.  We don't store Debian or Ubuntu
packaging information in the Samba tree.

It would be very helpful if you could work with the Debian Samba
packaging team to help us finish the merged Samba 4.0 package.
