Description Daniel Devine 2011-12-18 06:32:53 UTC

Description of problem:
The samba4 package has nearly all the components disabled. It only includes components that are needed for OpenChange (which is very few).

I am trying to port Resara Server to Fedora. It requires pretty much all the features of Samba4. Even when I flip the 0's to 1's to enable the components and compile package, it is still a bit broken. I haven't quite gotten it to work yet but https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=620929 seems to help.

When a user asks for a Samba4 package they expect to get Samba4.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Currently samba4-4.0.0-37.alpha16.fc16.x86_64  -- but it looks as if nothing has changed in years!


How reproducible:
Always, the package must be updated!

Expected results:
Install the full Samba4 suite. Currently Debian/Ubuntu do this.

Comment 1 Matthew Barnes 2011-12-18 13:37:47 UTC

That's intentional.  Samba4 is there only to serve OpenChange and SSSD, and we're not supporting anything beyond that at the moment.  If the disabled parts don't build I'm happy to review a spec file patch for that.

Comment 2 Daniel Devine 2011-12-18 14:01:17 UTC

Thanks Matt. I will play around with the spec a little myself over the next day - but its good to know you can help.

If I was to package Resara Server for Fedora could the necessary components be enabled, as there would be a need for them right?

Comment 3 Matthew Barnes 2011-12-18 14:17:34 UTC

I'd have to run it by the Samba team, which I'm not part of, but sounds reasonable if there's a legitimate need.

Comment 4 Daniel Devine 2011-12-19 12:06:48 UTC

I can compile the packages, however I can't seem to resolve some dependencies. I can't see a simple fix for the attached dependency issues. 

The libraries seem to be compiled but don't seem to be in any package. I can't seem to figure out how to get them packaged (probably simple, but I've tried and failed).

Comment 5 Simo Sorce 2011-12-19 16:00:31 UTC

The FreeIPA team is working to enable a lot more components in the samba4 package.
We have full new spec files which work with current samba4 master branches and plan to release new samba4 packages in rawhide relatively soon.

I'm CCing Andreas and Günther who are driving this effort and will manage the dropping in rawhide.

Comment 6 Ian Chapman 2011-12-29 13:50:48 UTC

If the next update to samba4 is far from complete, could we at least get the description right?  

"The Samba4 CIFS and AD client and server suite"

is hardly accurate. At the bare minimum it would nice to see a README.fedora file (or similar) included in RPM explaining why the rest of samba4 isn't there so users aren't left bewildered.

Comment 7 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2012-04-13 14:28:39 UTC

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
