[OpenWrt-Devel] Maintaining multiple Samba version

[Oliver Ertl]

Hi,

I'd like to discuss here what's the best way to maintain multiple versions of Samba in the package feeds.

I would do it this way:

- net/samba2 - ancient version
- net/samba30x - the 3.0.37 version
- net/samba36x - the latest version probably not stripped down

Also, we also don't have to forget luci-app-samba.

Comments are welcome ;-)

- net/samba2 - ancient version

Is this version still usable when looking at support on different OSes, or is
it just too old? If so, one might argue to drop this package.

Keeping/adding these two seems reasonable, so the user is able to choose:
- an optimized small (but older) version
- or choose the newest most feature rich one supporting up-to-date protocols
