Changelog
samba (2:4.20.1+dfsg-2) unstable; urgency=medium
* move many files from samba package to samba-ad-dc package.
From now on, samba-ad-dc isn't just a meta-package, it is actually
needed for AD-DC functionality. If you run AD-DC, please ensure
that samba-ad-dc package is installed (it is not recommended by samba)
Closes: #1051770
* move samba-tool and samba-gpupdate from samba-common-bin and samba
packages to python3-samba. This is an Active Directory stuff, not
needed for a stand-alone server or a client, but might be useful
for auth-only (neither file-server nor file-client) AD installs
Closes: #1068360
* remove addshare.py, setoption.py and source_samba.py python scripts
These aren't used by samba packages and are hardly useful generally, esp.
having in mind their unusual locations. The apport hook (source_samba.py)
is mostly obsolete, it hasn't been updated for a very long time.
* add make-python-optional.diff, so python3 can be made optional
for samba-common-bin
* remove python3-samba and python from Depends of samba and samba-common-bin
packages, moving it to Recommends. This lets the user to install a stand-
alone samba file server without any Active Directory bits and even without
python interpreter
* d/samba.install: do not install samba_downgrade_db (to old pre-4.8 version)
* move smbcontrol binary from samba to samba-common-bin,
since it can also be used to control winbindd
* d/control: tdb-tools (tdbbackup) are run from python modules,
move from samba:Depends to python3-samba:Recommends
* d/control: samba: no need to depend on libpam-runtime or libpam-modules
* d/control: samba: no need to recommend samba-ad-provision
* debian/TODO: update a bit, remove many obsolete entries
