Currently samba has just been upped to 3.3.8. However the current 'stable' for samba according to their website is 3.4.2. As I'm sure the maintainer already knows about this, I'm wondering which of the changes in samba 3.4 (listed http://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-3.4.0.html initially) is holding up adoption of the package. Is it (as I suppose) the changeover to tdbsam breaking current configs? My interest in this is that samba 3.4 has samba4 sources available which could potentially be used for a merged-build. Unfortunately the build process for samba (as seen in the samba 3.3 PKGBUILD) is really scary for me, so I'm hesitant to try it out, also I would have no way of knowing if any eventual samba 3.4 package would be able to replace samba 3.3 functionality. Basically this is something between a 'flag out-of-date' and a feature request.
