Last time I checked, smbclient and /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb were used for desktop products (sure, my argument on samba-2.0.6 vs 2.0.7 may not be as valid). But, I think an end-user may be upset when they can't print after someone upgrades their file/print server to 2003 without notice ... > Sysadmins know where to get their stuff.

So, then there should be updates for 9.1 also? As I said to Rob, file a bug (Rob can file a bug at http://bugs.mandrakelinux.com since he is using a stable release?). Look, I am not arguing that there should not be an update, but: - -there's no chance of it being in the initial release of 9.2 (I hope everyone has realised this, which was the issue that was initially oovered by this thread) - -bitching on cooker is likely not going to help, if you want an official response, file a bug - -there should be a policy on updates to avoid this kind of discussion in the future - -the policy should be applied fairly (and thus must be reasonable). If we are going to ship a gaim update, I think it would be reasonable (but require more testing) to ship a samba update, because IMHO they are equivalent (unless your assertion that only sysadmins print and access files is valid). So far, no one has been willing to file a bug on gaim, so it's likely not going to get any official attention (which was more what I was aiming to bring across ...).
