Please, please set the vendor version suffix and number in <code class="filename">source/VERSION</code> and call

<code class="filename">source/script/mkvesion.sh</code> to include the versioning of your package. There is also

the possibility to set a function to create the vendor version. This makes it easier to distinguish

standard samba builds from custom-build samba builds (distributions often patch packages). For example,

a good version would be:

</p><pre class="programlisting">

Version 2.999+3.0.alpha21-5 for Debian

</pre></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2562008"></a>Modules</h2></div></div></div><p>

Samba3 has support for building parts of samba as plugins. This makes it possible to, for example,

put ldap or mysql support in a separate package, thus making it possible to have a normal samba package not

depending on ldap or mysql. To build as much parts of samba as a plugin, run:

</p><p>

The option <code class="literal">--with-shared-modules</code> is maintained to support specific modules such as

idmap_XXX and vfs_XXX. For example, <code class="literal">--with-shared-modules=idmap_ad</code>. Use of this parameter

to the <code class="literal">configure</code> command as not been supported in official releases.

</p><pre class="programlisting">

./configure --with-shared-modules=rpc,vfs,auth,pdb,charset
