Building Samba Packages for Debian GNU/Linux
--------------------------------------------
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 3.0beta1, and should allow you to build Debian
packages for Debian unstable.
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.
Instructions
------------
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:
0) Make sure you have the following packages installed (in addition
to the normal Debian development packages -- dpkg-dev, libc6-dev,
devscripts, etc.):
debhelper
libpam0g-dev
libreadline4-dev
libcupsys2-dev
autoconf
Notes about 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.
1) cd samba[-<version>]. For example, "cd samba-2.2.5".
2) cp -a packaging/Debian/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.
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 2.2.4, the version number should something like 2.2.4-0.1
(use a number less than 1 like 0.1, 0.2, etc. so there is no conflict
with future upgrades to the official Debian packages.)
4) Run 'debian/rules binary'.
- It is better that you prefix the above command with 'fakeroot'.
If you have problems you might try building as root.
5) That's it. Your new packages should be in ../. Install with dpkg.
Please e-mail samba@packages.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.
