Samba 4 porting/Porting for FreeBSD...

Hi there,

I'm really curious if there is/or will be any progress on the samba 4 port? It seems that the latest FreeBSD port is (samba4-devel-4.0.0.a11_2) which is derived from alpha 11. However the current release is alpha 19 and a lot of things have changed since (especially in regards to openchange release BORG). Does anyone know if the port is still being maintained? Thanks!

By the way: I've noticed with redports / http://wiki.freebsd.org/WantedPorts that a lot of things are not getting ported to FreeBSD anymore. What's the deal with that? I'm a little worried.

Regards

Simon.
 
I'm guessing things got put on hold because of 8.3-RELEASE. During a release the ports tree is frozen. Updates should be coming in again but there might be a small backlog.
 
Hi,

I doubt that. I'm not addressing a couple of days/weeks during a port freeze but talking about almost a year of non-progress in regards to samba4 and many other ports. I have the impression that contributors/Interest-in-FreeBSD might be the real issue here. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Regards,

Simon
