Hi,

is there a "How to" for upgrading a DC from 4.2.10 Sernet packages to 
Samba 4.4.2 self compiled on a debian system?

I think there are two options?

Replace the sernet file:
1. Compile Samba 
(https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Build_Samba_from_source) with the 
paths given by smbd -b
2. make install
But what happens to the sernet packages/repository handled by the 
package manager?

Use default path and copy all database files:
1. Compile Samba 
(https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Build_Samba_from_source) with the 
default options
2. make install
3. Copy all files
There could be some problems with hard links as far as I now.

Regards
Andreas
