- samba-1.9.18p2-50.11.i386.rpm
- The Samba release version here is: 1.9.18p2
- The Red Hat Linux version this is for is: 5.0
- The issue number is: 11
- The Architecture for this RPM is: Intel (i386)
-
- Please, please - PLEASE!!! Do NOT issue any duplicate issue numbers
- as this will cause confusion. If you really have to make public any
- issue of the Red Hat RPMs then please mail jht@samba.anu.edu.au to
- ensure that duplicates can be avoided. Also, post a message to:
- samba@samba.anu.edu.au clearly copying us all of your action. We DO NOT
- want confusion of RPM package issue numbers.
-
- Preparation Process:
- ====================
- 1. Copy the official Samba-latest.tar.gz archive to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
- 2. Un-gnuzip the file to the plain tar archive format
- 3. Untar the archive to access the samba/examples/redhat files
- 4. Copy the samba-make.patch file to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
- 5. Copy samba.spec file to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
- 6. Delete the extracted archive (see item 3)
- 7. Go to the /usr/src/redhat/SPECS directory
- 8. Execute: rpm -ba -v samba.spec
-
- Notice: All the above can be achieved simply by going to the relevant
- samba version directory (eg: ~samba-x.yy.zz/packaging/redhat/RH50)
- then executing "makerpms.sh"
-
- 9. Copy the SRPM file from the /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS directory
- and copy the RPMS file from the /usr/src/redhat/RPMS directory
- to the distribution point from which the finished packages will
- be uploaded to the samba ftp archive.
-
- Finito!!
