Hey all,

I'm trying to create a .deb installable package of Samba4 so I can add it
to my local repository and install from there. Main reason for this is I
want to automate Samba builds using puppet.

Has anyone had any experience/success with this? I've tried various methods
using dh make etc but no luck so far.

Thanks,
Chris.

Hi Andrew,

I use Ubuntu 14.04 in prod and we've moved beyond their repo (currently
using Samba 4.4.2). Haven't had a chance to test 16.04 yet.

Um, like using the debian package, from say debian?

Using debian 4.4.2 for 2 weeks now, no problems,
Created own deb file from the experimental sources.
4.4.2-2 is debian unstable now, its not that hard to recompile it to jessie.

Just make sure the compiling machine has a local repo which containt the needed files for samba.
Start with with compiling tevent talloc ldb tbd.

It would be great if someone would maintain a backport in
backports.debian.org for this.
