[blocks B      ] <net-fs/samba-3.6_rc1 ("<net-fs/samba-3.6_rc1" is blocking net-fs/cifs-utils-5.4)

Wouldn't it be nice if a matching net-fs/samba went stable along with this?

arm stable

net-fs/cifs-utils-5.5 does not mount a samba share. 
I does not find any log message. It just happens nothing. 

mount /mnt/share4
# df |grep share4
#

I confirm comment #6. mount -v print nothing. dmesg prints nothing. the mount silently fail. 5.4 works fine. I think this should be filed in another bug, but i found it here with search, so I hope the maintainer will do it if needed.

[Comment 8 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2012-07-08 15:11:30 UTC]

Stable for HPPA.

@alpha, @ia64, @sparc:

There currently is no alternative for your arches to mount-cifs, so the weekly builds CDs will fail to build or you'll lose cifs support in them.

[Comment 13 Tiziano Müller (RETIRED) 2012-07-26 08:54:06 UTC]

@jmbsvicetto: thanks a lot for the poke
@alpha/ia64/sparc: sorry for the sudden rush, but given the number of bugs and invalid glsa, mount-cifs really has to go

The only job for this tool is to mount cifs-shares (samba-shares).
