[Samba] howto upgrade from samba-4.1.6-ubuntu to 4.1.12

[Martinx - ジェームズ]

Hi!

Nice procedure!

BTW, I'm maintaining an Ubuntu PPA to backport few packages from Utopic, to
Trusty, including Samba 4.1.11!

Just run:

add-apt-repository ppa:martinx/ig
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

I'm planning to maintain it until ~2016... Soon as Samba 4.1.12 hits
Utopic, I'll backport it to Trusty.

I'm using it in production, let me know if something goes wrong...

Cheers!
Thiago
