You can obtain the Samba source from the
<ulink url="http://samba.org/">Samba Website.</ulink> To obtain a development version, 
you can download Samba from CVS or using <b class="command">rsync</b>.
</p><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2972995"></a>Access Samba Source Code via CVS</h2></div></div><div></div></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2973003"></a>Introduction</h3></div></div><div></div></div><p>
<a class="indexterm" name="id2973014"></a>
Samba is developed in an open environment. Developers use
Concurrent Versioning System (CVS) to &#8220;<span class="quote">checkin</span>&#8221; (also known as 
&#8220;<span class="quote">commit</span>&#8221;) new source code. Samba's various CVS branches can
be accessed via anonymous CVS using the instructions
detailed in this chapter.
</p><p>
This chapter is a modified version of the instructions found at
<ulink url="http://samba.org/samba/cvs.html">http://samba.org/samba/cvs.html</ulink>
</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2973049"></a>CVS Access to samba.org</h3></div></div><div></div></div><p>
The machine samba.org runs a publicly accessible CVS 
repository for access to the source code of several packages, 
including Samba, rsync, distcc, ccache, and jitterbug. There are two main ways
of accessing the CVS server on this host:
</p><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2973065"></a>Access via CVSweb</h4></div></div><div></div></div><p>
<a class="indexterm" name="id2973076"></a>
You can access the source code via your favorite WWW browser. This allows you to access
the contents of individual files in the repository and also to look at the revision 
history and commit logs of individual files. You can also ask for a diff 
listing between any two versions on the repository.
</p><p>
Use the URL:
<ulink url="http://samba.org/cgi-bin/CVSweb">http://samba.org/cgi-bin/CVSweb</ulink>
</p></div><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2973106"></a>Access via CVS</h4></div></div><div></div></div><p>
You can also access the source code via a 
normal CVS client. This gives you much more control over what you can 
do with the repository and allows you to checkout whole source trees 
and keep them up-to-date via normal CVS commands. This is the 
preferred method of access if you are a developer and not
just a casual browser.
</p><p>
To download the latest CVS source code, point your
browser at the URL :
<ulink url="http://www.cyclic.com/">http://www.cyclic.com/</ulink>.
and click on the &#8220;<span class="quote">How to get CVS</span>&#8221; link. CVS is free software under 
the GNU GPL (as is Samba). Note that there are several graphical CVS clients
that provide a graphical interface to the sometimes mundane CVS commands.
Links to theses clients are also available from the Cyclic Web site.
</p><p>
To gain access via anonymous CVS, use the following steps. 
For this example it is assumed that you want a copy of the 
Samba source code. For the other source code repositories 
on this system just substitute the correct package name.
</p><div class="procedure"><p class="title"><b>Procedure 36.1. Retrieving Samba using CVS</b></p><ol type="1"><li><p>
	Install a recent copy of CVS. All you really need is a 
	copy of the CVS client binary. 
	</p></li><li><p>
	Run the command:
	</p><p>
	<b class="userinput"><tt>cvs -d :pserver:cvs@samba.org:/cvsroot login</tt></b>
	</p></li><li><p>
	When it asks you for a password, type <b class="userinput"><tt>cvs</tt></b>.
	</p></li><li><p>
	Run the command 
	</p><p>
	<b class="userinput"><tt>cvs -d :pserver:CVS@samba.org:/cvsroot co samba</tt></b>.
	</p><p>
	This will create a directory called <tt class="filename">samba</tt> containing the 
	latest Samba source code (i.e., the HEAD tagged CVS branch). This 
	currently corresponds to the 3.0 development tree. 
	</p><p>
	CVS branches other then HEAD can be obtained by using the
	<tt class="option">-r</tt> and defining a tag name. A list of branch tag names 
	can be found on the &#8220;<span class="quote">Development</span>&#8221; page of the Samba Web site. A common
	request is to obtain the latest 3.0 release code. This could be done by 
	using the following command:
	</p><p>
	<b class="userinput"><tt>cvs -d :pserver:cvs@samba.org:/cvsroot co -r SAMBA_3_0 samba</tt></b>.
	</p></li><li><p>
	Whenever you want to merge in the latest code changes, use 
	the following command from within the Samba directory: 
	</p><p>
	<b class="userinput"><tt>cvs update -d -P</tt></b>
	</p></li></ol></div></div></div></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2973311"></a>Accessing the Samba Sources via rsync and ftp</h2></div></div><div></div></div><p>
	<a class="indexterm" name="id2973323"></a>
	<a class="indexterm" name="id2973331"></a>
	<i class="parameter"><tt>pserver.samba.org</tt></i> also exports unpacked copies of most parts of the CVS
	tree at <ulink url="ftp://pserver.samba.org/pub/unpacked">ftp://pserver.samba.org/pub/unpacked</ulink> and also via anonymous rsync at 
	<ulink url="rsync://pserver.samba.org/ftp/unpacked/">rsync://pserver.samba.org/ftp/unpacked/</ulink>. I recommend using rsync rather than ftp.
	See <ulink url="http://rsync.samba.org/">the rsync homepage</ulink> for more info on rsync.                      
	</p><p>
	The disadvantage of the unpacked trees is that they do not support automatic
	merging of local changes like CVS does. <b class="command">rsync</b> access is most convenient 
	for an initial install.                      
	</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2973389"></a>Verifying Samba's PGP Signature</h2></div></div><div></div></div><p>
<a class="indexterm" name="id2973401"></a>
It is strongly recommended that you verify the PGP signature for any source file before
installing it. Even if you're not downloading from a mirror site, verifying PGP signatures
should be a standard reflex. Many people today use the GNU GPG toolset in place of PGP.
GPG can substitute for PGP.
</p><p>
With that said, go ahead and download the following files:
</p><pre class="screen">
<tt class="prompt">$ </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>wget http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/samba-2.2.8a.tar.asc</tt></b>
<tt class="prompt">$ </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>wget http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/samba-pubkey.asc</tt></b>
</pre><p>
<a class="indexterm" name="id2973459"></a>
The first file is the PGP signature for the Samba source file; the other is the Samba public
PGP key itself. Import the public PGP key with:
</p><pre class="screen">
<tt class="prompt">$ </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>gpg --import samba-pubkey.asc</tt></b>
</pre><p>
and verify the Samba source code integrity with:
</p><pre class="screen">
<tt class="prompt">$ </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>gzip -d samba-2.2.8a.tar.gz</tt></b>
<tt class="prompt">$ </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>gpg --verify samba-2.2.8a.tar.asc</tt></b>
</pre><p>
If you receive a message like, &#8220;<span class="quote">Good signature from Samba Distribution Verification Key...</span>&#8221;
then all is well. The warnings about trust relationships can be ignored. An
example of what you would not want to see would be:
</p><pre class="screen">
     gpg: BAD signature from &#8220;<span class="quote">Samba Distribution Verification Key</span>&#8221;
</pre></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2973553"></a>Building the Binaries</h2></div></div><div></div></div><p>
<a class="indexterm" name="id2973564"></a>
		To build the binaries, first run the program <b class="userinput"><tt>./configure
	</tt></b> in the source directory. This should automatically 
	configure Samba for your operating system. If you have unusual 
	needs, then you may wish to run</p><pre class="screen"><tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>./configure --help
</tt></b></pre><p>first to see what special options you can enable.

	compiled you can use</p><pre class="screen"><tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>make install</tt></b></pre><p>to install the binaries and manual pages. You can 
	separately install the binaries and/or man pages using</p><pre class="screen"><tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>make installbin
</tt></b></pre><p>and</p><pre class="screen"><tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>make installman
	</tt></b></pre><p>Note that if you are upgrading from a previous version 
	of Samba you might like to know that the old versions of 
	the binaries will be renamed with an &#8220;<span class="quote">.old</span>&#8221; extension. You 
	can go back to the previous version with</p><pre class="screen"><tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>make revert
