I really appreciate the great work of all you devs, but I fear I am not able to help very much, because of lack of skill and time.

Would it be not easier and better to just make the newest version available?
E.g. I would much more prefer just a samba-3.6.4 package than an updated samba-3.5.5.

I already tried to generate samba-3.6.4, but failed wih ldap_initialize....

Best regards,
