Looking more closely at Debian patches, I only find two remining
patches that could need to be forwarded but require further
investigation/preparation on our side:
- one patch for locking issues in smbstatus
- the big one: the so-called "FHS" patch which is aimed to better
respect the FHS, by using dedicated directories for:
- discardable cache data (/var/cache/samba):
browse.dat, printers.tbd, <printer>.tdb
- non discardable state data:
all TDB files that may need to be backed up
- shared data (/usr/share/samba):
codepage stuff
that patch currently has issues such as preventing running more
that one instance of samba on a single machine and the like. This is
quite certainly the most debatable and invasive one. One of our user
proposed a rewrite to make ti cleaner so we'll discuss first
internally before submitting it.
I will do my best to forward them later, so please consider that the
current batch ends up with the [5/10] patch..:-)
