[Samba] re: Support of Samba on RHEL4?

[Gianluca Cecchi]

Alex,
I could not agree more with you.
BTW, perhaps you already know, but just in case:
If you want to see the patches applied to a package during its
history, and you don't need to dig into the sources themselves, you
can query the changelog for an rpm package without having to download
sources:

rpm -q --changelog package

for example  for my samba-3.0.10-1.4E.2
rpm -q --changelog samba
