-Building Samba Packages for Debian GNU/Linux
---------------------------------------------
+Debian.org packages
+-------------------
-Building Debian packages is not as hard as some people might think.
-The following instructions will allow you to build your own Samba
-Debian packages. These instructions and the files in packaging/Debian/
-should be current as of Samba 3.0.2, and allow you to build Debian
-packages for Debian unstable (so you need some development packages
-available only in Debian unstable.) If you are using something newer
-than 3.0.2 you might want to try to follow the instructions to see if
-patches apply cleanly. If some patches don't apply cleanly please e-mail
-samba@packages.debian.org since we might have fixed patches that we have
-not yet integrated into upstream Samba.
+Samba is packaged for Debian and Debian-derived distributions by the Debian
+Samba packaging team.
-We try to maintain as much compatibility with previous releases
-of Debian as possible, so it is possible that the files in
-packaging/Debian/ can also be used to build Samba Debian packages for
-other Debian releases. However, sometimes this is just not possible
-because we need to use stuff that is only available on Debian unstable.
+The current sources for the packages in unstable can be found in Subversion
+at:

-If you want to build Samba packages for Debian and you just want to use
-upstream sources, i.e. you don't want to wait for us to put official
-packages out, or you want packages for a Debian version for which we
-don't provide deb's, or you don't want to use official packages, or
-you want to add --this-cool-switch to configure, or whatever, follow
-these instructions:
+The current sources for particular Debian releases as well as the
+"experimental" branch can be found at:
-0) Make sure you have the following packages installed (in addition
-to the normal Debian development packages -- dpkg-dev, libc6-dev,
-devscripts, etc.):
+ svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-samba/branches/<name>/samba
- autoconf
- debhelper (>= 4.1.13)
- libpam0g-dev
- libreadline4-dev
- libcupsys2-dev
- libacl1-dev, libacl1 (>= 2.2.11-1)
- libkrb5-dev
- libldap2-dev
- po-debconf
- python2.3-dev
-
- Notes regarding the packages required to build Samba Debian packages:
-
- * The libcupsys2-dev is not available in Debian Potato (Debian 2.2).
- That's fine; the configure script won't detect CUPS support and the
- resulting binaries won't support CUPS.
-
- * The list above is current as of samba-3.0.0rc2, but it can get
- out of date. The best way to check what packages are required to
- build the samba packages on Debian is to look for the Build-Depends:
- field in the file debian/control.
-
-1) cd samba[-<version>]. For example, "cd samba-3.0.2".
-2) cp -a packaging/Debian/debian/ .
- It's important that you copy instead of symlink because the build
- tools in Potato have a problem that prevents the build to work with
- a symlink. If you are running a recent Debian distribution you don't
- have to copy the directory and you can use a symlink instead:
- "ln -s packaging/Debian/debian/ ."
-3) dch -i (this is completely optional - only do it if you understand
- Debian version numbers! Don't complain later if you can't upgrade
- to official versions of the Samba packages for Debian.)
- - Edit the changelog and make sure the version is right. For example,
- for Samba 3.0.2, the version number should something like 3.0.2-0.1.
-4) Run 'fakeroot debian/rules binary'.
-5) That's it. Your new packages should be in ../. Install with dpkg.
-
-Please e-mail pkg-samba-maint@lists.debian.org with comments, questions or
-suggestions. Please talk to us and not to the Samba Team. They have
-better things to do and know nothing about the Debian packaging system.

+SerNet provides Debian packages of the latest Samba versions for various
+Debian releases as part of EnterpriseSamba. See
