[Pkg-samba-maint] Target for squeeze: 3.4 or 3.5?

[Christian PERRIER]

Quoting Mathieu Parent (math.parent at gmail.com):

> Win7 should work with 3.4 also (http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Windows7)

> This is hard to know when 3.4 will goes "discontinued", but it will go

Agreed also. I'm waiting for Steve's input, also, preferrably.

> So, ctdb in squeeze will be functionnal but "may have slight

With a Debian-only POV: 

- if we choose 3.4 for Squeeze (low probability), then you'll need to
revert to 1.0.108 with an epoch

- if we go for 3.5, you can defer an upload of 1.0.108
with an epoch to 'later' when it is clear whether upstream 3.5 does
include Michael's changes. If upstream decides to not include changes
to fit ctdb >=1.0.109, then it will be time to revert to 1.0.108 and
keep above versions for experimental

Here also, Ubuntu's schedule has some importance. If Ubuntu prefers
sticking with Samba 3.4, then we need to reinclude ctdb 1.0.108 ASAP
so that they have the "right" version to fit samba's version.
