[Pkg-samba-maint] Samba Jessie-backport

[Leopold Palomo-Avellaneda]

Hi,

the current version of Samba in Jessie doesn't not work fine with Windows 10.

https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2015-September/193886.html

I think that backporting the current Stretch version of Samba to Jessie 
(supporting Windows 10) could be a good option. I'm not able to evaluate the 
cost in time about this option. Looking build dependencies I see that there 
are three packages that are not in Jessie and not maintained by the Debian 
Samba Maintainers:

* libnss-wrapper libresolv-wrapper libsocket-wrapper 

and some packages with not available versions but maintained by the same team:

* libldb-dev (>= 2:1.1.26~) 
  libtalloc-dev (>= 2.1.6~) 
  libtdb-dev (>= 1.3.8~) 
  python-ldb (>= 2:1.1.26~) 
  python-ldb-dev (>= 2:1.1.26~) 
  python-talloc-dev (>= 2.1.6~) 
  python-tdb (>= 1.3.8~) 

So, please could you consider to backport Samba to Jessie to solve the problem 
of Windows 10 compatibility?

Best regards,


Leopold
