samba f12 does not exit

[SlowJet]

samba-common-3.4.2-0.43.fc11.i586 - a recent security fix
This is used in f12 because the old version in f12 does not work.
No f12 equivalent.

Even f13 has 3.4.2-0.46.fc13.1

The maintainer should get their act together or give it up to someone that can handle the pace of samba changes. samba ia a very main line core program and needs to be tested early, not after the release.

you should join the test-list SJ

I got Samba working by manually editing smb.conf. Every attempt to run system-config-samba has produced a crash. I have uninstalled and re-installed, and the problem persists. I hoped to see Samba included in the morning's updates, but it was not. Does anyone believe this is not a bug ?:confused:

How can the maintainer release the new version of samba during the development freeze :rolleyes:
If you aren't happy with this, try asking the maintainer if he could tag it as 'updates' at bodhi.


P.S If you think you can do it better join fedoraproject .

What kind of response does one expect from the devs by posting this here, anywho?

Sounds more like a system-config-samba bug than a samba bug.

Maybe one doesn't expect a response from the devs for things posted here. Maybe one wants to compare notes with others before going after the devs. Earlier one posted here what he thought might be a bug, and Slowjet solved it as not a bug, and not something to go after the devs about.

And here one has learned that it is an issue already known to the devs, who are already working on it.

I find this to be a great place to compare notes.

Shrug. OK. I would have chose the Rants board. :p :)

EDIT:
Regarding the system-config-samba issue: have you perhaps tried moving smb.conf to another location (smb.conf.bak or whatever) and then tried using system-config-samba? Maybe there's some directive in there the new version doesn't like. Even if you uninstall-reinstall samba and s-g-samba, I don't believe the configs will be removed.

is the latest F12 build of samba. It should get tagged into final, I think, but you can grab it there for now.

Thank you tjvanwyk. I renamed smb.conf, allowing it to be recreated.
It still crashes.

Thank you Adam W. I went to the link you provided, and there was Samba, dated Oct. 9th, including all its modules. But system-config-samba was not there. System-config-samba is what I am having trouble with.

So Do I understand from this that your system-config-samba is working just fine, and that I am the only one having crashes with it ? If that is the case, then waiting for the devs to produce a good version will be futile.

[AdamW]

system-config-samba is not part of samba itself. I can't say I use the tool myself, but I just ran it for the first time and it certainly appears to start up okay. If you're having problems, please follow the usual procedure for filing a bug with details about what exactly goes wrong. Thanks!

[OralDeckard]

OK I filed a bug report on it.
