[oi-dev] samba package needs a maintainer

[Friedrich Kink]

Hi all,

the issue is solved now. The root cause was within the ncurses package 
which depended on a pcre2 library. pcre2 package was recently updated to 
a later version which increased the counter on .so version from 2 -> 3 
which in turned led to a 'library not found' for libform.so (part of 
ncurses package). A simple rebuild of the ncurses package solved the 
problem. Currently I'm building the latest samba version 4.15.6 with 
basically same feature set as before. I'm almost done but need to do 
some more tests before creating a pull request.

Hope this helps and relaxes a little bit the pressure on this package. 
Nevertheless I guess volunteers are always welcome ;-).

cheers,

   Fritz
