[Pkg-samba-maint] debconf bof today august 15 at 17u30 about debian samba packages

[Arvid Requate]

Hello,

just a quick feedback about the new samba 2:4.x.y source package:
We imported and uupdated it to 4.1.0~rc2 and the package structure is working 
fine for us. We more or less just needed to change the ccan library to be 
bundled and add ntdb to the bundled libraries as well. The other changes were 
some Univention specific points (like backporting to wheezy compat 8). So we 
are going to adopt the new source package and upgrade from our previous 
package which was based on Jelmers samba4 work.

Excellent job, as usual, thanks!
Arvid
