Hello to everyone
I want to upgrade my current samba 3.4 version to 3.5.
I try my best to search on other linux forum but not get simple steps solution of upgrading samba version....

Thanks for any comments.

Maybe I'm wrong, but there is no official Ubuntu package of Samba 3.5 in repositories yet.

You have two options:
1. Wait for official package
2. Compile new samba Yourself
3. Use untrusted sources

If waiting or compiling isn't solution (time is money :) ) then you could use untrusted repository.

At first I will write big warning to not be responsible if something happen with Your system :) :
I DOESN'T TEST THIS REPOSITORY. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Then check Your Ubuntu version.
This package is designed for Ubuntu 9.10.

If everything is ok then prepare 3 easy steps:
1. Add repository:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:polslinux/ppa

2. Update package list:
sudo apt-get update

3. Then upgrade samba:
sudo apt-get upgrade samba

Thats all.

Repository info: https://launchpad.net/~polslinux/+archive/ppa

Thanks for replay "UnderV". Let me check and replay to you.

I'm finding this same "problem": Ubuntu 10.04 server comes with samba 3.4, and I'd like to upgrade to 3.5.3, and can't find it in a repository. I've tried adding the suggested one above with additional info from https://launchpad.net/~polslinux/+archive/ppa, but Synaptic won't "find" it--I haven't tried the manual add yet.

Is there some reason Ubuntu doesn't make this update available as a pkg in a regular repository? Is there some problem with it and 10.04 Server?
