Created attachment 83286 [details, diff] Patch against net-fs/samba/samba-3.0.21b.ebuild
Created attachment 83287 [details, diff] Patch against profiles/use.desc
I've successfully created and accessed a couple of DFS shares with this configuration.
in portage, thanks: 3.0.22-r1 Just a couple of hints: 1) gentoo standard: a flag is described in use.desc only if it is a global flag (say, more than 10 packages using it). Else, it will go in use.local.desc, where there is also info on the packages using it. 2) cosmetic only: the syntax '$(use_with msdfs)' is more compact. It can be useful to separate the "problematic" use flags (it/elif/else) from the "simple" ones (the plain --with-*)
Maybe I'm confused, but as far as I can tell (and I have checked the Samba sources and all the Gentoo patches), the --with-msdfs configure option simply does not exist anymore. The Samba WHATSNEW.txt file points out: "Many of the options to the GNU autoconf script have been modified in the 3.0 release. The most noticeable are: ... * removal of --with-msdfs (is now enabled by default)" So why does anyone think that supplying this option will make a difference? There is certainly no need for a USE flag for it ...
