  • Bug#265871: Samba 3.0.5 Printserver doesn't work with WinXP SP2

    From Markus Kolb@1:229/2 to All on Sun Aug 15 15:40:08 2004
    From: [email protected]

    Package: samba
    Version: 3.0.5-1
    Severity: grave

    It is a known change in the WinXP SP2 and Samba 3.0.6 release client 2
    is already patched.
    So I hope there will be a patched Debian package before Sarge becomes
    stable.

    Changes since 3.0.6rc1

    severity 265871 important
    thanks

    I disagree that a workaround for a bug in a Windows release candidate is
    a bug that should delay the release of Samba with sarge.

    Regards,

    It is not only in the Release Candidate of SP2.
    The bug is in the final Service Pack 2 of Windows XP, too.
    That's the problem. I've told that it is the Service Pack 2 and not any
    release candidate.
    MS won't repair it because there is no problem in MS only networks.
    Samba 3.0.5 is useless with WinXP SP 2 and printing.

    I would tend to agree with Markus on this point. I detail ny thoughts here : the whole purspose of Samba is to
    provide internetworking with Windows systems. As such it contains "workarounds" for numerous (mis?)features
    of the Windows OS. The samba team is very fast to provide fixes in the case Microsoft breaks something in one of its
    patch / service pack. I think ignoring this breakage for the release of sarge would make quite a lot of people unhappy,
    which is quite sad, given the little work that is required to apply the patch.

    However i agree that this bug doesn't fit into the "grave" category. But temptation is high for users to flag everything as
    "grave" so that it gets fixed for the Sarge release... :-)

    And i won't as Steve to build a new package, as he must be already overwhealmed by his RM task. :-(
    Maybe Eloy could find time to update a patched 3.0.5?

    Cheers,

    Fabien

    If someone sends a patch I can certainly build fixed packages. I don't
    have time right now to go find the patch myself, though.

    Cheers!

    Taking you to the word, here is your patch, ready to be dropped in debian/patches :-)

    I've attached also fixes for two other serious bugs, which may be important to have fixed before sarge.
    Please note that these patches apply with offset, and will need to be removed from debian/patches when you package 3.0.6 in the future.

    And please find time to send the package to testing-proposed-updates, or maybe Steve can handle this part. :-)

    Cheers,

    Fabien
