Change Details

**Rationale:** Samba 4.7.10 introduces stricter buildreq version checking (requires ldb <1.3.x for instance). Since we already moved to ldb 1.3.x with our Samba 4.7.x upgrade, and since the Samba 4.8.x series is now maturing, it makes more sense to switch to the 4.8.x series than to downgrade a stack which is already proven to work with our other applications. No changes to the default Solus Samba configuration have been made, so the upgrade is expected to be seamless for users. This issue tracks the stack upgrade status. **4.8.x feature highlights relevant to the default Solus Samba config:** - Time Machine Support with vfs_fruit - Support for lower casing the MDNS Name **Build and configuration changes from 4.7.x:** - Disable the Active Directory Domain Controller functionality since Solus is a Personal Computing -- as opposed to Enterprise -- Client OS. Has the additional benefit of removing the confusing 'samba.service' systemd service file (see T6659). On the odd chance that someone using Solus is relying on AD DC functionality being present, they are welcome to take over Samba maintainership duties, as I don't use (and hence test) AD DC functionality. - Change permissions on /var/lib/samba/private from 0755 to 0700 (like fedora) - No-op reorganization of build option order to improve readability - No-op change to systemd file names in the install section due to upstream changes - Depends on updates to talloc, tevent, tdb and ldb. As far as I can tell these buildreq changes only add ABI symbols (no apparent symbol removals). **Changelogs:** - [4.8.0 (new features)](https://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-4.8.0.html) - [4.8.1 (bug fixes)](https://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-4.8.1.html) - [4.8.2 (bug fixes)](https://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-4.8.2.html) - [4.8.3 (bug fixes)](https://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-4.8.3.html) - [4.8.4 (security fixes)](https://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-4.8.4.html) - [4.8.5 (bug fixes)](https://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-4.8.5.html) **Samba rebuild stack:** ``` * samba (4.8.5) | +-> tevent (0.9.37) -> talloc (2.1.14) | +-> tdb (1.3.16) | `-> ldb (1.3.6) ``` sources: https://www.samba.org/ftp/ **Rebuilds needed (according to eopkg-deps):** - ... - ... **Test Plan:** - Build Samba 4.8.5 against ldb-1.3.6, tdb-1.3.16 and tevent-0.9.37 - Build tevent-0.9.37 against talloc-2.1.14 - Build tevent rdeps - Build talloc rdeps - ...
