Hi Nico,

thanks you for sending a link to your github repo and you work on
Samba for Fedora/Centos/RHEL.
I made my Samba4 RPM packages with .SPEC file from official Fedora 29
4.9.4 source RPM, which I modify for Heimdal Kerberos (as I wanted
reliable  SW, and I have no needs for MIT Kerberos, SSS, systemd,
journald,... ;).
Fortunately there was not too much to change and Samba sources was not
extra patched, thus it was relatively easy.
Installation on Centos 7 I excluded because its obsolescence.
Two weeks ago I, now with minimal changes, build 4.9.5 RPM packages
and upgrade to them. Version 4.10.0 I still not tried, maybe further
test I will do during the summer holidays (it is school network).
I will look at your Samba repo too, thanks.
