Hello pkg-samba team,

I've uploaded samba 4.7 to experimental (with the necessary libs).
Please test it!

I have some concerns before uploading to sid (those questions are
mostly to Andrew and Jelmer, as you know the internals well):
- the move of replace from builtin to bundled libraries should
probably be reverted. But how to fix the FTBFS?
- patches 05_share_ldb_module and 07_private_lib: Are they still usefull?


And some mid-term questions:
- embedded Heimdal: Can we move to the system one?
- packages are currently python 2 only: How to python 3?
- #876984: Porting from python-gpgme to python-pgp
- Can Add-documentation-to-systemd-Unit-files.patch,
fix_kill_path_in_units.patch, nmbd-requires-a-working-network.patch,
systemd-syslog.target-is-obsolete.patch be upstreamed (submitted in
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12402)?
- Should no_build_system.patch be upstreamed?
- Do we re-enable the selftest during build?

Thanks
