[Pkg-samba-maint] Work to do|in progress for samba packages

This short mail to summarize the current issues we should deal with.

For unstable, we should upload a new 3.4.3-2 package with the fix for
#558116. This will also include the switch to source 3.0 format.
Steve, if you have time for this, it would be appreciated. Otherwise,
I'll try to do it myself, but I can't promise much.

Please note that the switch to source v3 needs some patches to be
refreshed, as they don't apply properly when applied from dpkg-source
(apparently, if there's some fuzz in patches, they don't apply cleanly
even though they were with quilt....weird).


I began the work on 3.5.0pre1 packages. Everything is imported in
branches/samba/experimental, but I need to "svn commit" my last
changes (such as refreshing one of the patches and disabling another
one).

Issues I'm facing right now are "--enable-external-talloc" and
"--with-ctdb". For a reason unknown of myself, they don't work anymore
and configure complains that there is no libtalloc or ctdb found.

Given the release plans of upstream samba (3.5 in January), and
assuming that the "planned" squeeze release schedule is respected, I
think we should target to release with 3.5.
