Samba4 alpha4 is not a final Samba release. That is more a reference
|
|
to Samba4's lack of the features we expect you will need than a
|
|
statement of code quality, but clearly it hasn't seen a broad
|
|
deployment yet. If you were to upgrade Samba3 (or indeed Windows) to
|
|
Samba4, you would find many things work, but that other key features
|
|
you may have relied on simply are not there yet.
|
|
|
|
For example, while Samba 3.0 is an excellent member of a Active
|
|
Directory domain, Samba4 is happier as a domain controller, and it is
|
|
in this role where it has seen deployment into production.
|
|
|
|
Samba4 is subjected to an awesome battery of tests on an
|
|
automated basis, we have found Samba4 to be very stable in it's
|
|
behaviour. We have to recommend against upgrading production servers
|
|
from Samba 3 to Samba 4 at this stage, because there may be the features on
|
|
which you may rely that are not present, or the mapping of
|
|
your configuration and user database may not be complete.
|
|
|
|
If you are upgrading, or looking to develop, test or deploy Samba4, you should
|
|
backup all configuration and data.
|
|
|
|
We welcome your testing, please file bug reports at
|
|
https://bugzilla.samba.org/, product: Samba4. Please include as much
|
|
information as possible, such as GIT revision SHA and backtraces.
