• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Chris Smith 2005-04-27 21:51:34 UTC]

The samba-3.0.14a-r1 ebuild incorrectly configures "--with-acl" instead of the proper "--with-acl-support" if the acl use flag is set.

It also fails to create the symlink /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb to /usr/bin/smbspool for the cups backend.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge samba
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
acl support borked

can't print to smb printer via cups


corrected proposed ebuild and diff to follow

thanks Chris, nice catch.

Maybe it's just my system but the updated ebuild in portage still doesn't create the cups backend symlink.
For some reason "dosym ../bin/smbspool /usr/$(get_libdir)/cups/backend/smb" just doesn't work here. But specifying the whole path like my patch did "dosym /usr/bin/smbspool /usr/$(get_libdir)/cups/backend/smb" works. I see the value in not hardcoding the path but it also needs to work.

gah, I see the problem, sorry about this.

[Comment 6 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2005-04-29 06:58:54 UTC]

ok, the symlink is now properly created. sorry about that.

[Comment 7 Kenyon Ralph 2005-04-29 21:23:00 UTC]

OK, but was there a revision bump so this symlink fix would get propagated?  If I'm reading the changelog correctly, I don't think so.  Would have saved me a few hours of figuring out this problem...
