First, don't stress.  Samba 4.3 and git master of today really are not
that different, particularly in the AD DC.  

Second, don't make any rushed changes - your system likely just as
functional as it was before, and you are helping us test out git
master. :-)

The database remains totally compatible (indeed back down to 4.0 as far
as I know, but this direction isn't tested). 

When you are comfortable, the process to install 4.3 is just to check
out that tag, build, remove the old binaries and libraries and install.

Naturally, keep taking your regular backups of the state before you do
this.

I hope this helps,
