[SOLVED] Samba 4 Installation

Does anyone know if there exists a repository that can be added to apt for the latest stable version of samba4 as the current sources for this on server 12.10 are old i.e. an early Beta which clearly doesn't install properly on Ubuntu Server 12.10:

Code:

I think Samba4 is very young at the moment as it was only released in mid-December 2012 it's just i'm dying to get it working. I did try installing from source but I had problems with DNS resolution. I might give it another go over the weekend from source. The only down side I think is when you install from source you dont automatically get updates as if you had installed it from apt (or at least I think so).

Marking as solved as there have been no responses. I have also decided to let the software mature and see how things are when Ubuntu Raring Ringtail is released............

Yeah unfortunately samba 4 is not in any of the ubuntu stable repositories yet. I expect version 4.0.2 to be included in the new 13.04.
What part of the DNS resolution did you have trouble with. I've compiled it and set up test enviornments multiple times.
