Please advise when you take the > time to update the port or know of a workaround. 19 August 2004 - Samba 3.0.6 Available for Download Five days. Four days since it is not yet tuesday in your place. If it is such an issue for you, please help us with the following: See if you can fetch and build Samba 3.0.6 properly on your system. What changes are needed to the Makefile and the patches. Does it all work properly, or are there things which break. Please make patches for them too, so you can share your work with others. Make sure that the list of files installed is correct. Check your patches on the latest releases of FreeBSD 4.x and 5.x. If the patches are problems with Samba, give feedback to the Samba development team. Make sure all slave-ports still work too. And as the last step, diff your version of the port against the original port and send-pr it, so the maintainer can check your version against his version, see his experienced problems against your experienced problems and commit a version which works properly. Feel free to stamp with your feet on the ground and shout "it's not fair" if you don't like the above approach, but it's the same things the maintainer has to do before he can update the port.
