[Pkg-samba-maint] (forw) [Announce] Samba 3.6.7 Available for Download

Mon Aug 6 19:57:54 UTC 2012

I don't think we'll manage to "sell" this to the release team..:-). I
really would like bt I think that, in some way, our release policy
isn't really great...because I'm 101% sure that 3.6.7 is by far an
improvement over 3.6.6

Anyway, I'm considering to upload this 3.6.7 release to experimental.

In our VCS, we have two options:

- branch the trunk as experimental and do 3.6.7 work there
- branch the trunk as wheezy (which we'll do at some point anyway) and
work on experimental in the trunk

Advices?
