Dear Brad, dear Ian,
Why aint the Version number of the Samba port raised after applying the
security patches?
>From what I see the most recent version is samba 3.6.22 but OpenBSD

If all security patches to 3.6.15 where applied it should be 3.6.22 or?
If just the CVE-patches got applied: What's wrong about the other
Bugfixes? No new functionality was added.
It would be kind if you might could answer me my question about the
versioning of this port.
Kind regards,
Sebastian
Because it's not 3.6.22. It is what is says 3.6.15+ patch level.
Not all bug fixes post 3.6.15 are rolled in. Only security fixes (thanx
Brad).
Look, the Samba folk decided from 3.6.16 to change the build environment
that had been with the 3.6 branch for 15 releases to python and waf.
Unfortunately that busted how we handle shared library versioning on
OpenBSD.
They changed the build environment for 4.x. No issue. They could have
left 3.6 that way it was seeing it was to become obsolete when the 4.1
branch was released. The world is linux and linux only, no project seems
to give a rats ass about much else. If it works on linux then it must
work everywhere..........
Our in-ports tree waf was out of date to use. Some discussion was had
about updating this. Not sure what happened after that.
