[Samba] RE: Support of Samba on RHEL4?
Hello Gianluca, The rpm -q --changelog package command was known to me, but the original Samba packages doesn't contain a changelog. As for the RHEL4 Samba packages; the changes are applied by RedHat engineers, but if you are looking into the patches itself, they come mostly from samba.org How can otherwise statements of Jeremy Allison of samba.org be in patches of RedHat... ;) and the only way to find out is to dig in the patches themselves...

Alex, I could not agree more with you. BTW, perhaps you already know, but just in case: If you want to see the patches applied to a package during its history, and you don't need to dig into the sources themselves, you can query the changelog for an rpm package without having to download sources: rpm -q --changelog package for example for my samba-3.0.10-1.4E.2 rpm -q --changelog samba * Wed May 11 2005 Jay Fenlason [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3.0.10-1.4E.2 - include the -bug157208 patch. to close bz#157208 CRM 511318 - smbfs dont respect uid and gid options when mounting * Fri Apr 29 2005 Jay Fenlason [EMAIL PROTECTED] - include the -smbspool pattch from RHEL-3, to close bz#155350 SAMBA client working, printer configuration not working - include the -winbindd_2k3sp1 patch to allow Samba to authenticate against a Windows 2003 SP1 machine.

[Samba] RE: Support of Samba on RHEL4?
The only reason I stepped into RHEL4 was the hardware support. I have a new Dell PE2900 server with SAS drives and for RHL9 no drivers are available, so I had to step forward to RHEL4 (which is obvious for me). I have almost 100 Linux servers running with Red Hat Linux 9, you know, the obsolete version. ;) All these servers are running flawlessly with Samba 3.0.14a from samba.org I can't remember I ever signed a contract with you to support my servers :-) However, my opinion is that I the support I receive from samba.org is (up until now) sufficient for me; if I may quote the patch for W2k3 SP1, that came out a few hours after the release of SP1. What took more effort concerning the support of Samba, was the flaw of LDAP failover with W2k3 DC's. I was banging my head regarding this issue and entering a bug on bugzilla about this issue didn't help me. I was however actively involved to tackle that issue and it was solved with a proposed patch of my partner in crime. So I was not only consuming support from Samba but also contributing support to Samba. :-) When RHEL5 is released I'll take a look which version of Samba they will use as default and hopefully this will be one of the latest Samba versions. I can change at any time the Samba packages from samba.org to the RH Samba packages, which give me full support from RH then... :-) Maybe I have to consider CENTOS instead of RHEL4, because I didn't need RHEL4 for support from Red Hat, I only needed for hardware reasons.

Strange if it comes from RH. Also the initial release for RH 4, samba-3.0.10-1.4E.9.i386.rpm, contained a changelog in it...

Probably not for samba but this is true for many other ones. In other situations clearly they apply official mantainers patches, eventually dwelving in backporting them, if for some reason they don't want/feel to upgrade the whole package itself.
