Eric,
I started as you instructed and when I get to this command,
./bin/update-packageinfo 2.2.6pre 20020730
I receive the error: no such file or directory
next I changed to the RedHat dir. and executed sh makerpms.sh...this
appeared to work fine.
i could not execute rpm -Uvh samba-2.2.6pre-20020730.i386.rpm
what I did execute is: rpm -Uvh samba-2.2.5-1i386.rpm and received
the following error msg: execution of %postun scriptlet from samba-
2.2.3a-6 failed, exit status 1
when I execute -e samba-common samba-client samba-server...I
receive the following errors:
samba-common not installed
samba-client not installed
samba server not installed
any ideas what I do from here?
Thanks,
Steve
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
