Hi all,

This is to announce the availability of Samba(and CTDB) rpms from Storage SIG[1] on CentOS 7 and 8. Visit Samba’s CentOS Storage SIG wiki page[2] for more details on installation steps.

  • How does this differ from the Samba in the regular release?

    This announcement and the wiki would benefit from a sentence or two stating why someone would, or would not, choose to release the SIG
    Samba instead of the distro Samba.

    Thanks, Jim

  • Unlike Samba from default CentOS repository, which stays at a particular version for a while, Storage SIG Samba is planned to have latest possible stable versions packaged and shipped as and when they are released upstream. Additionally it is aimed at maintaining GlusterFS integration by shipping samba-vfs-glusterfs package with specific VFS module for accessing GlusterFS volumes.
