[Samba] samba-2.2.6pre2 snapshot available

[Gerald (Jerry) Carter]

FYI...

I've just posted a snapshot of the current SAMBA_2_2
source code (tagged release-2-2-6pre2). This includes
all of the post 2.2.5 printing fixes as well as fixing some 
other bugs (such as VxFS quota support).  Please test and 
report back your experience.  

There have been some updates to the Mandrake packaging
thanks to Buchan.  We are not building RPMS or *debs
for this pre-release.  If you need to build your own,
see the files in the packaging subdirectory of the source 
distribution.

The bzip2 and gzipped files can be downloaded from 

	http://download.samba.org/samba/ftp/pre

It might take a little time for all of the mirrors to
sync up.

As always, please report any bugs your may find to 
samba at samba.org (or join the development effort on 
samba-technical).  The latest excerpt from the WHATSNEW.txt 
follows.



Cheers,
