[Pkg-samba-maint] updating samba to current upstream

[L. van Belle]

Good morning, 

If we have these extra steps to import the sources of the subpackages, 
i can easly use my package and changes for the debian.tar.gz 
It does save some time here.  

For my packages of samba i use this order to build packages.

01-talloc  02-tevent  03-tdb  04-cmocka  05-ldb  
06-nss-wrapper  07-resolv-wrapper  08-uid-wrapper  09-socket-wrapper  
10-pam-wrapper  11-salsa  11-samba  

(* optional or needed als build deb) 
12-cifs-utils  12-liburing-ubuntu  12-wsdd2  13-dwz  14-debhelper

At least its for me a clear and good work order. 

Based on the ldb 2.5.0, your prepairing for samba 4.16.0 correct? 
I had a small look here. 
https://salsa.debian.org/mjt/ldb/-/blob/master/debian/changelog 
I noticed tdb 1.4.5 

Keep in mind that samba 4.16 needs tdb 1.4.6
Something im always wondering about, in these cases.. 
Like ldb needs minimal tdb 1.4.5, and samba minimal 1.4.6 
Whats preffered here to keep the ldb with its minimal version 
Or up the version to same as what samba needs, since these are tight
togeter. 

I see great work here michael. 
1 question, can you add the steps in the sub packages, like the example of
samba ; 
https://salsa.debian.org/samba-team/samba/blob/master/debian/README.source.m
d 

If thats done, i can add all sub packages in, since i already have them.
Im preparing to chipin also here as soon i can. 
But as said, i need some more instuctions on these subpackages. 
you *(and offcoure the other guys in here) have the skills i miss. 

Like, im stuck myself with 4.16.0 and the office is claiming my time
currently, 
the change is to big for me to make in the time i have. 
All my sub packages are done, i have them in internal apt repo. 
If you want i can upload these to the external one, it might save you some
time. 


Greetz,

Louis
