So, why do they create a rpms?
Question on samba team:
It is really helpfull to have rpms. Are you thinking about creating also
updated binary packages? Something like:
samba-2.2.5-2.rpm or samba-2.2.5-1.print-patch.rpm? I thing that popularity
of binary distributions is big. But if we are able to update samba only by
compilling from source, than it looses its sence.
