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: -Instructions ------------- + svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-samba/trunk/samba -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 - - * The list above is current as of samba-3.0.0rc2, but it can get - out of date.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. - -Eloy A.
