I have seen no announcement of alpha18 being released.  Also, I don't
see it here:

http://ftp.samba.org/pub/samba/samba4/

or were you abbreviating the version number?

Well I don't know then.

I've just done this:

$ git reset --hard master
$ git pull
$ git clean -xdf

I needed the "git clean" because I got link errors before doing this.

$ ./configure.developer
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo source4/setup/provision --realm=samdom.example.com
--domain=SAMDOM --adminpass=SOMEPASSWORD --server-role='domain
controller'
(except I had to change the password because of the complexity constraints)
$ sudo /usr/local/samba/sbin/samba -i -M single
samba version 4.0.0alpha18-GIT-4493c57 started.

../source4/dsdb/dns/dns_update.c:294: Failed DNS update - NT_STATUS_IO_TIMEOUT

I haven't set up bind9, which explains the DNS update error.
Otherwise it seems fine.  No warnings about "server role".
