[Samba] Samba 2.2.5 update process

[Eirik Thorsnes]

Do the following:

download and untar samba sources somewhere
then:

cd samba-2.2.6pre
cd packaging
./bin/update-packageinfo 2.2.6pre 20020730
cd RedHat
sh makerpms.sh

Wait for rpms to appear in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386
(Note that the samba-directory needs to be called the
same as the first argument to update-packageinfo)

rpm -Uvh samba-2.2.6pre-20020730.i386.rpm
(if trouble: remember that redhat divides their samba-rpm
so you may have to:
rpm -e samba-common samba-client samba-server
