Looking for steps to build samba as RPM.

[Kenny Dinh]

I don't know how other people does it.  I normally use the src rpm from
fedora.  After installing the src.rpm, I would get the default samba*.spec
file.  That spec file is the baseline from which I started adding changes
to my liking.  If you are using samba 4.3.11, then the samba src rpm from
Fedora 23 seems to work best.

Hope that helps!
