From http://news.samba.org/ - 25 December 2009 "Samba 3.0.x is now officially deprecated, and no new security updates will be provided by the Samba Team." Currently 3.0.37 is the latest stable version in portage. Versions 3.3.9 and 3.4.3 are available with keywords.
At least these packages need to go stable (sorry if I missed any deps) =net-fs/samba-3.4.4 =net-fs/samba-libs-3.4.4 =net-fs/samba-client-3.4.4 =net-fs/samba-server-3.4.4-r1 =sys-libs/talloc-2.0.0-r1 =sys-libs/tdb-1.2.0
Are you joking? Requesting stabilization after less than 25 hours?
We really should not even think about stabling something that is in tree for such short period of time. 2 things should be done 1) samba-4.4.3 should be stabled or 2) we could wait at least 14 days if you really see it fit for stable instead for 4.4.3 (some issue i am not aware). Basically true is that we should not keep the 3.0 stable when upstream says they no longer support it, but we need to stable only fully tested packages. Archies, you guys decide if it is worth the shot to stable 4.4.3 i guess. (Just replace those 3 versions in what Patrick wrote :])
Adding depending bugs for compilation issues and compatibility issues. Those should be resolved or _at least_ evaluated first (samba team needs to comment on those bugs) before stabilizing a newer version.
As long as no unfixed security bugs for the 3.0 series appear, we can wait a bit with stabilisation.

Honestly, I don't care. Samba is too crucial to stabilise a major version without much testing. We have KDE 4.3.3 stable, we don't need any minor version stabilised anyway. For the 3-series we used to skip here and there a minor version.

We have KDE 4.3.3 stable, we don't need any minor You might not, but alpha/ia64/sparc might disagree on that one as I've been explicitely asked to inform them soon as 4.3.4 is ready.
I have no problem with that if they go stable, but I think x86 may ignore that one for a while then, we are spread thin enough.
Speaking about this, I was reported today about a very bad situation on sys-libs/tdb[-python]. There is a serious lack of polishing in this, and I already complained about it with Patrick before, this is not really ready for stable unless somebody goes on to polish the stuff up, especially reverse deps.
samba-3.4.3 went away, and samba-libs-3.4.4 won't even emerge, why would you remove something that works fine(3.4.3) without making sure 3.4.4 will even emerge. It seems to be missing a patch. * Messages for package net-fs/samba-libs-3.4.4: * Cannot find $EPATCH_SOURCE!

It seems to be missing a patch. Sorry about that, was accidental commit of a change I made for testing. Fixed now.
When 3.4 is not in a state to be stabilized, would it be possible to stabilize a 3.3.x version instead? We are using samba on gentoo as domain controller here and the only reason we don't upgrade the workstations from xp to vista/win7 is that those need samba 3.3 or 3.4.

Add a specific version to package.keywords manually, so you can upgrade your workstations until we reach a conclusion what to do next. (Test report would be great, as I could only provide a minimal test environment.) :)

I have now 3.3.10 running here with ~30 connected Workstations. So far with no problems. The only thing that bugs me a little it the removal of utmp(--without-utmp) in this ebuild. I liked that feature.
Samba-3.4.5 has been running without problems for about 3 weeks now on AMD64. The only thing I ran into was that passwords are now stored in a different way. note that I have not by far tested all features. emerge --info: -------- Portage 2.1.7.17 (default/linux/amd64/10.0/no-multilib, gcc-4.3.4, glibc-2.10.1-r1, 2.6.31-gentoo-r6 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.31-gentoo-r6-x86_64-AMD_Athlon-tm-_64_X2_Dual_Core_Processor_5200+-with-gentoo-1.12.13 Timestamp of tree: Thu, 18 Mar 2010 02:15:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.0_p35 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.10 dev-lang/python: 2.6.4-r1 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.4-r3 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.13 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.6-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.63-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.3 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc: 4.3.4 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6b virtual/os-headers: 2.6.30-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA dlj-1.1" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/bind" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/eselect/postgresql /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests collision-protect distlocks fixpackages multilib-strict news parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.tiscali.nl/ ftp://gentoo.tiscali.nl/pub/mirror/gentoo/ " LANG="en_US.utf8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="en" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/overlay" SYNC="rsync://rsync.tiscali.nl/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow acl amd64 apache2 bash-completion bzip bzip2 caps cli cracklib crypt cue cupsddk curl dri exif fastcgi flac ftp gdbm git graphviz gzip iconv icu id3 jabber jpeg json lame ldap libsamplerate mmx mod_muc modules mp3 mudflap mysql mysqli ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg openmp pcre php png posix postgres pppd readline reflection ruby sasl session simplexml spl sse sse2 ssl svg sysfs syslog tcpd threads truetype unicode unzip vorbis web webdav xml xmlreader xmlrpc xmlwriter xorg zip zlib" ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
gnome-base/gvfs-1.4.3 (from Gnome 2.28 stabilization) requires >=net-fs/samba-3.4.6, do you plan to stabilize any new samba version soon?
Feel free to readd arches when you provide a proper list of packages to be stabilized. Thanks
I would suggest this list.. If it is ok, I'll make it stable (its needed for Gnome 2.28) sys-libs/tdb-1.2.1 sys-libs/talloc-2.0.1-r1 sys-apps/keyutils-1.2-r2 dev-db/ctdb-1.0.88 net-fs/samba-3.4.6

amd64 done Btw, FEATURES=test fails for dev-db/ctdb-1.0.88 but I marked it stable anyway..
Could we possibly add some elog about the changed password db default type? This changed in 3.4, and makes it really easy to break your installation.

After running "pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e tdbsam" as described in the Samba release notes to convert the password backend to tdbsam (the new default) I couldn't connect to shares from my clients anymore. But adding "passdb backend = smbpasswd" to my smb.conf did the trick and now my clients can connect to the samba shares. Using the old backend though. So for now I would advice to add a warning to the ebuild to add the above mentioned line to smb.conf. Other than that, everything seems to work great. Samba is running on my home server and several clients are using it without problems.
