Hello,
The samba packaging team has a ready package for samba 3.2.4
This new upstream version is a bug-fix-only version, just like all
versions in 3.2.* series. Upstream is now focusing on 3.3 releases,
which are due out in November.
At least, it is fixing an important bug report we received since 3.2.0
entered unstable: #499419 (listing files with colon in their name,
upstream bug 5761)
All other bugs are bug fixes pushed by upstream as part of the ageing
and increasing feedback for the 3.2 series.
Doing our best to get the latest version of the 3.2.* series is, in
our opinion, the best way to guarantee our users the best samba in
lenny and the best support from our support in the long-term
maintenance of the version we'll ship in lenny.
On request, I can provide (but probably not comment) the diff between
both versions, stripped down to source code changes (95% of the full
diff is made of documentation reformatting and RPM packaging
changes). That diff is 178017 bytes long, in unified format.
