Samba 4 Uninstallation
I've completed also some work to fix up the uninstallation in SAMBA 4. So it should be possible to remove cleanly binaries, headers, libraries etc..
I haven't provided a repository for this, so I link to the patch: here
It comprehends:
- Makefile: Fix up variable names and remove most of the installation/uninstallation targets
- templates.mk: Add here most of the installation/uninstallation targets and handle the uninstallation completely there.
- Conclusion: The installation scripts under "source/script" are needed as before, but the uninstallation ones aren't anymore.
- Unused targets like "swat2" are removed.
Annotation: This patch (installlib.sh) is needed to fix up the library installation. It should be applied before the first one.
Feedback
- templates should only be used for things that are called repeatedly (e.g. as replacement for a single .sh file that installs a bunch of libraries)
- no longer applies cleanly
Samba 4 Registry
Over the summer 2008 I've improved and fixed up the registry backend of SAMBA 4. Here a short overview of what I did:
Registry client
GIT repository: git://repo.or.cz/Samba/mdw.git Branch: "v4-0-regClient" - GITWEB
Main issues:
- Major fixes in the RPC client (tries to be compatible with the Windows Registry client libs)
- Improvements and fixups in the patchfile library
- Some enhancements in "regshell"
- Fixup's in two torture tests related to the registry
Registry server
GIT repository: git://repo.or.cz/Samba/mdw.git Branch: "v4-0-regServer" - GITWEB
Main fixups:
- Compatibility with Windows Registry Editor (regedit) - in my case Windows 2000 - and SAMBA 4 Registry client library
- Support empty values of REG_SZ (string) type (LDB backend)
- Introduce REG_BINARY type variables (LDB backend)
- Introduce the default attribute (LDB backend)
Feedback
- Maybe left to do: torture tests
