Hello everyone,

I have a Samba AD server compiled and installed from source. I'd like to update it, but I'm not entirely sure of the procedure. Is a simple `configure / make / make install` of the new version sufficient (after backing up the current version, of course)?

Thank you for your help.

Hello,

it's strongly discouraged to use a compiled version if you don't know what you're doing. A new compilation won't delete previously created files that no longer exist, which can cause an installation to crash after an upgrade.

It's best to revert to a compiled version.

If you want to stay with a compiled version, it's best to consult the Samba wiki.

Regards,

Denis
