[Samba] Debian Jessie samba 4.5.8-2 4.5.10 4.6.5 available

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Hai, 
 
I've (finaly) complete and restructured my apt. 
All non-samba related packages are removed, so it all dedicated for samba. 
 
More Info about my apt found here: http://apt.van-belle.nl/
 
The apt repo has the following setup.  
All term like (jessie) and (jessie-backports) and (unstable) are related to this apt repo (apt.van-belle.nl),
but everything is builded and tested on Debian Jessie. 
 
1) Debian Jessie Backported packages.  (the apt line with : jessie-backports)
    - a one on one recompile of the debian stretch/testing packages.
    Use this one to keep the debian line, package wise and no changes are made in the sources.
 
2) Debian Jessie packages. (the apt line with : jessie) 
    - used are packages where needed, from jessie-backports.
    - used debian unstable/experimental package rebuilded for jessie. 
    - used the latest samba 4.5.x ( now 4.5.10 from samba.org ).
    - with optional patches from the samba buglist. 
 
3) Debian Jessie packages. (the apt line with :unstable )
    - used are packages where needed, from jessie-backports.
    - used are packages where needed, from jessie
    - used the latest samba 4.6.x  ( from debian experimental ) 
    - with optional patches from the samba buglist. 
 
For all version, sources and debs and signed by me. 
 
Howto setup. 
1) You want newer samba but the safest option.
    You need 1 line for my apt. 
    echo "deb http://apt.van-belle.nl/debian jessie-backports main contrib non-free" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/van-belle.list
 
2) you want newer samba but the safe but with all latest samba and samba bug fixed. 
    For example Debian samba 4.5.8-2 is missing a set of good winbind fixes. ( see changelog 4.5.9 ) 
    You need 2 lines for my apt. 
    echo "deb http://apt.van-belle.nl/debian jessie-backports main contrib non-free" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/van-belle.list
    echo "deb http://apt.van-belle.nl/debian jessie main contrib non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/van-belle.list
 
3) You want the latest samba, or from samba.org or debian (unstable or experimental) with optional patches from the samba buglist. 
    At the time of this email debian experimental is the same as samba.org. 
    You need 3 lines  for my apt. 
    echo "deb http://apt.van-belle.nl/debian jessie-backports main contrib non-free" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/van-belle.list
    echo "deb http://apt.van-belle.nl/debian jessie main contrib non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/van-belle.list
    echo "deb http://apt.van-belle.nl/debian unstable main contrib non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/van-belle.list
 
Now import the public key with :
wget -O - http://apt.van-belle.nl/louis-van-belle.gpg-key.asc | apt-key add -
 
And update and upgrade. 
 
For all version, info about new samba setup.  https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Main_Page
 
Info about samba changes. 
! Really a MUST READ when upgradeing from 4.2.x to 4.5.x or any 4.5 to 4.6 or any other version.
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_Features_added/changed_(by_release) 
 
Summerized upgrade info : http://downloads.van-belle.nl/samba4/Upgrade-info.txt 
Make sure you understand these changes before you upgrade your production server. 
 
Debian wheezy will be updated soon from 4.6.3 to 4.6.5. 
 
Last, the setup layout is done like this for the following reason. 
Default jessie samba 4.2.14  => my jessie-backported packages give you samba 4.5.8-2  *(jessie-backports)
If you want bit newer, you can choose, 
or samba 4.5.10  *( jessie) 
or samba 4.6.5  *(unstable)
 
Just beware, i dont know what happens in you downgrade samba from 4.5.10 to 4.6.5 but the option is available. 
 
Any comments tips other bla bla, i'll accept all comments, good/bad. 
 
Have fun with these..
