Hi!
Please do test the updated samba packages.
I did and was unhappy with the installation of samba-ad-dc due to
recommneds promotion although 95% of users do not need it.
Also, with this new samba release, I added samba-ad-dc to
the Recommends: of samba - so with default settings (which
is to install recommended packages), on upgrade, people will
have the new samba-ad-dc package installed too, - this will
ensure existing ad-dc setups wont be broken. Yes, it means
more unused packages (also for new installs) for people who
only need file-server functionality without active directory,
but it is easy to remove and it's better to play safe than
sorry.
Well I do not really catch that: if samba-ad-dc was not installed, the
init.d file was useless and noboby will notice removal and if it was the
service was used.
And before the split, I guess both were installed.
And correct me if I'm wrong but up to now, the installations with active
directory would broke during migration to split version (unless you do
special things in install to detect the package is missing when going to
pre-split to split or package is an empty stub that only does config).
