Mike, Andrew,
Thanks for the hints -- obviously I've never looked at a src rpm before :)
I've taken the "build a new set of RPMs" approach, which seems to be
compiling hapilly now.
Here's what I've done, can anyone spot any silly bad things?
Download samba CVS (CVS checkout)
Rename source from samba to samba-2.2.4
Download samba-2.2.3a.src.rpm
Tar the samba CVS as samba-2.2.4.tar.bz2
Install the src rpm
Look in /usr/src/RPM/SOURCES
Replace samba-2.2.3a.tar.bz2 with the new version
Remove some patches (anything that refers to 2.2.3a):
samba-2.2.3a-cli_spoolss_notify.patch.bz2
samba-2.2.3a-init.patch.bz2
samba-2.2.3a-LDAP-schema.patch.bz2
samba-2.2.3a-pam_smbpass.patch.bz2
samba-2.2.3a-srv_spoolss_nt.patch.bz2
Rename the README.samba-2.2.3a-10mdk as README.samba-2.2.4-0.1sjm
Look in /usr/src/RPM/SPECS
Edit samba.spec
Change to my new version number
Comment references to removed patches (2 places each)
Put in a changelog entry -- very professional :)
Run rpm -ba samba.spec -- complains that I need pam-devel, libcups-devel,
libacl-devel
Download and install pam-devel, libcups1-devel, libacl1-devel,
libattr1-devel (plus dependancies) from cooker mirror
Rerun rpm -ba samba.spec. This is compiling now, and looks like I might get
some rpms out of it.
