Building deb packages? / Samba 4.7.7

[harryruhr]

First of all I want to thank Tranquil for providing Samba packages for Debian. I know that this is voluntarily.

This is why I want to know, if there are any sources and build recipes available to build those packages myself. Mainly because I wanted to build packages for Samba 4.7.7 (released April, 17) which contains some important fixes - latest available release at the Tranquil repo is 4.7.6 (maybe because the people at Tranquil are busy integrating Samba 4.8).

I know there is a wiki post how to build Samba in general, but building Debian packages would be better

Hi harryruhr,

As you know, we're working on Samba 4.8.X deb build.
You can make your own deb packages on following this procedure https://wiki.debian.org/SimpleBackportCreation .

You have to download https://packages.debian.org/buster/samba .

Good luck
