[Samba] samba430-jessie script question

[Bob of Donelson Trophy]

All software development progresses so quickly that anyone's script may
not be current. Even a script I may have written. And that is the
overall challenge with scripts, in general. We users become dependent on
scripts. And we users need the learn independence. I have been learning
what scripts do and how scripts do what they do. 

I was wanting to install 4.3.1 on Debian8 and see if I encountered bug
#11573. (Had a CentOS 7 VM that will not domain provision due to bug
#11573.) This holiday experiment idea will now end. 

Waiting until after v4.3.2 is released. Patience is a good thing. 

Thanks for suggestions and help, both Louis and Rowland.

While building a VM with "setup-samba430-Jessie.sh" I notice that Debian 'experimental' is now (pulling) samba-4.3.1+dfsg-1 version. The script is not running correctly as (obviously) the patches are for samba-4.3.0+dfsg packages. Suggestions? This is something that Louis will have to fix, but I cannot really see the need to use such a script. By using Louis's script, you are dependant on him keeping it up to date, and when it isn't, you get problems like this, which may get worse as 4.3.2 is due out on Tuesday :-) You will probably be better off compiling Samba yourself
by following the wiki. You can then easily update to a new version when it comes out. You will also find that all the examples on the wiki will be valid, no need to alter paths etc. If you must use a script, write your own, after all, a script is mostly just a list of the commands you would enter one after another.
