I am trying to get a SAMBA43 AD-DC moved to a more recent version. 4.3 was the last vesion of samba_server that would provision on FreeBSD before 4.10.15 and so we had to keep it running. Samba-4.3 was last available on FreeBSD-10.3, which we have kept running in a BHyve vm specifically for that purpose. However, as detailed elsewhere, I am unable to replicate the windows acls on the current version of FreeBSD (12.1.p4/5). Since FreeBSD 10.3 and 10.4 are long past their EOLs in order to get the packages I need for new vms I require to build these using Poudriere. Which is the context for my question.
Which branch contains the last set of ports for 10.4?
https://svn.freebsd.org/ports/branches/2017Q2 appears to be the last set for 10.3 but it is not clear to me whether 2018Q3 is the last for 10.4.
I also note that the CHANGES document for 2017Q3 does not mention that samba42 and samba43 were both removed between 10.3 and 10.4. Is it the practice that ports are deleted between minor revisions without the fact being documented?
