** Description changed: Samba 4.10.0[1] is the first samba release to completely support python3. It is a goal of Ubuntu to remove python2 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 talloc FFe: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/talloc/+bug/1818522 tevent FFe: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tevent/+bug/1818523 ldb FFe: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ldb/+bug/1818525 Samba 4.10.0 is not yet released, though. The current release is 4.10.0rc4. The final release is expected for March 19th, 2019 (see [1]: it slipped, as it was supposed to be released on March 5th). 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 + - reverse depends for python-samba (the py2 package); + $ reverse-depends python-samba + Reverse-Depends + =============== + * samba + * samba-common-bin - 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 - sssd needed a patch to fix an FTBFS with samba 4.10. It's in the bileto ppa (see below) and I proposed it for disco already (https://code.launchpad.net/~ahasenack/ubuntu/+source/sssd/+git/sssd/+merge/363940). Turns out sssd was already an FTBFS in disco due to the krb5 1.17 update (which I also fix in that MP). UPDATE: it is in disco now. 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 have been filed as well.
