    Wrong list - amd64 is x86.

    debian-arm would be the correct list.

    and it turned out that the Samba version 4.2.10 I got is pretty
    much outdated.

    4.2.10 is what is currently in Debian jessie,
    and 4.2.14 is available in jessie-proposed-updates. [1]

    Is there any reason to stick to this version?

    Debian jessie (released in 2015) ships with 4.2 on all architectures,
    and that won't change.

    I was trying bananian 16.04 which is based on Debian Jessie armhf on my
    Banana Pro, and it turned out that the Samba version 4.2.10 I got is pretty much outdated.
    Looking at https://packages.debian.org/search?arch=armhf&keywords=samba I
    guess this Is because there is no newer version available for Debian armhf
    in general. Is there any reason to stick to this version? How can I get a
    newer one (not compiling it myself)?
    Thanks & Best regards, Joachim

    Ask someone else to compile it for you :)

    Debian Jessie has only 4.2.10 (plus security fixes) on all architectures, not just armhf. Debian Stretch has 4.4.7 on all architectures including armhf, so it probably isn't anything intrinsically to do with the ARM architecture. So you *might* be able to install the Stretch version.

    If it depends on something else newer than Jessie, though, you probably are going to end up having to compile it yourself anyway .....
