Using us3.samba.org as an apt source for Samba
OK - so I found support on the SAMBA site (www.samba.org) for Debian
distributions. But after I added the lines to sources.list, apt still
only offered 2.2.3a from ftp.us.debian.org, and not 2.2.7 or 2.2.8a from
ftp.samba.org. My relevant files are below:
apt.conf:
APT::Default-Release "testing";
sources.list:
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib
non-free
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main
contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib
non-free
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main
contrib non-free
#openoffice.org .deb
deb http://www.phy.olemiss.edu/openoffice/ testing main contrib
#java vm .deb
deb http://ftp.tux.org/pub/java/debian/ testing main non-free
# samba
deb http://us3.samba.org/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/Debian stable main
And here's the output from apt:
hadrian:/usr/src# apt-get install -s samba

Why didn't it pickup the later version from us2.samba.org?
TIA
