Hi Ken,

thanks for your reply. I tried to choose my words as carefully as possible not to blame or insult anybody. I know that when I requested Amanda 3.3.3, it took about two days for it to get upgraded in SFE. What I wanted was the statement, that community help remains unwanted not to stay uncommented and without reasonable explanation. If things get stuck then better find out how to make it flow.

Could you maybe point at a documentation of the steps behind your Popular Packages updates? Maybe people would help if they would better know how? Just for an example: if someone wanted to upgrade tomcat from 6.0.35 as it currently is in /dev to the latest 6.0.37 or add 7.0.40 to the repo, what would he do?

Cheers
 Stefan

Stefan,

Samba 3.5.21 binary package is in the OI hipster repo. Samba 3.6.15 and patches are already in the OI-userland git for review.

Best to review that work beforehand, then see where things dropped off.

There was a request submitted for help in updating packages in the new hipster repo. I have worked on the Popular Packages page on the OI Wiki to help with the update effort.

Hi all,

>Kinda hard when I myself didn't exactly get a great experience on that score.
>I've helped out with getting the samba package updated from that horrible
>3.5.7/8 release to newer ones both with providing specs and running the builds
>myself being my own guinea pig. The result? You still have 3.5.8 in oi151a7.
>Okay this is OI.

Keeping the status of the project in mind, isn't this the most important subject to discuss? Why does community support not find it's way back into the project? Why is help wasted when frequent upgrades to packages are identified as crucial for the survival of OI?

If there's any hope for OI, then it is making support as easy as possible. Chris, did you ever get an explanation for your Samba upgrade not making it into the distribution?

Cheers
Stefan.
