** Description changed: Samba 4.10.0[1] is the first samba release to completely support python3. It is a goal of Ubuntu to remove python from the desktop images (see bug #1440381), and this release of samba, together with the mandatory dependency updates it warrants (ldb, tdb, talloc and tevent), allow for that to happen. + + tdb FFe: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tdb/+bug/1818520 Samba 4.10.0 is not yet released, though. The current release is 4.10.0rc3, with an RC4 expected by tomorrow (March 5th, 2019). The final release is expected for March 19th, 2019 (see [1]). Release notes for the 4.10 branch are at [2] Considerations: - We are going ahead of Debian with this change - python2 bindings will be dropped from the samba package, in favor of py3 only ones. It is possible to build with both, but the current packaging would have to be changed because, among other things, samba-libs has python dependencies. We would need to move those to another package otherwise samba-libs would depend on both python2 and python3, which defeats the purpose of what we want - new python3-* packages will result from this effort: python3-samba, python3-ldb, python3-talloc - this is the first release of samba that supports python3. Bugs can be expected - samba "dot-zero" (.0) releases might contain bugs that are quickly fixed in point releases. We might have to do such updates before Disco releases. - samba 4.10.x is the last series of samba that will support python2 We believe there is greater risk in postponing this change for disco+1 than doing it now, and flushing out the bugs in preparation for the next LTS. FFe bugs for the samba 4.10 dependencies will be filed as well (talloc, tdb, tevent and ldb).
