You can obtain the Samba source file from the

<a class="ulink" href="http://samba.org/" target="_top">Samba Web site</a>. To obtain a development version,
4
you can download Samba from Subversion or using <code class="literal">rsync</code>.

7
Samba is developed in an open environment. Developers use a
8
Subversion to “<span class="quote">checkin</span>” (also known as
9
“<span class="quote">commit</span>”) new source code. Samba's various Subversion branches can
10
be accessed via anonymous Subversion using the instructions
11
detailed in this chapter.
13
This chapter is a modified version of the instructions found at the
14
<a class="ulink" href="http://samba.org/samba/subversion.html" target="_top">Samba</a> Web site.

</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2687590"></a>Subversion Access to samba.org</h3></div></div></div><p>
16
The machine samba.org runs a publicly accessible Subversion
17
repository for access to the source code of several packages,
18
including Samba, rsync, distcc, ccache, and jitterbug. There are two main ways
19
of accessing the Subversion server on this host.
20
</p><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2687603"></a>Access via ViewCVS</h4></div></div></div><p>
21
<a class="indexterm" name="id2687611"></a>
22
You can access the source code via your favorite WWW browser. This allows you to access
23
the contents of individual files in the repository and also to look at the revision
24
history and commit logs of individual files. You can also ask for a diff
25
listing between any two versions on the repository.

30
<a class="indexterm" name="id2687647"></a>
31
You can also access the source code via a normal Subversion client. This gives you much more control over what
32
you can do with the repository and allows you to check out whole source trees and keep them up to date via
33
normal Subversion commands. This is the preferred method of access if you are a developer and not just a
35
</p><p>In order to be able to download the Samba sources off Subversion, you need
36
a Subversion client. Your distribution might include one, or you can download the
37
sources from <a class="ulink" href="http://subversion.tigris.org/" target="_top">http://subversion.tigris.org/</a>.
39
To gain access via anonymous Subversion, use the following steps.
40
</p><div class="procedure"><a name="id2687680"></a><p class="title"><b>Procedure�42.1.�Retrieving Samba using Subversion</b></p><ol type="1"><li><p>
41
Install a recent copy of Subversion. All you really need is a
42
copy of the Subversion client binary.
45
</p><pre class="screen">
46
<strong class="userinput"><code>svn co svn://svnanon.samba.org/samba/trunk samba</code></strong>.
49
This will create a directory called <code class="filename">samba</code> containing the
50
latest Samba source code (usually the branch that is going to be the next major release). This
51
currently corresponds to the 3.1 development tree.
53
Subversion branches other then trunk can be obtained by adding branches/BRANCH_NAME to the URL you check
54
out. A list of branch names can be found on the “<span class="quote">Development</span>” page of the Samba Web site. A
55
common request is to obtain the latest 3.0 release code. This could be done by using the following command:
56
</p><pre class="screen">
57
<strong class="userinput"><code>svn co svn://svnanon.samba.org/samba/branches/SAMBA_3_0 samba_3</code></strong>.
60
Whenever you want to merge in the latest code changes, use the following command from within the Samba
62
</p><pre class="screen">
63
<strong class="userinput"><code>svn update</code></strong>

<a class="indexterm" name="id2687796"></a>
68
<em class="parameter"><code>pserver.samba.org</code></em> also exports unpacked copies of most parts of the Subversion tree
69
at the Samba <a class="ulink" href="ftp://pserver.samba.org/pub/unpacked" target="_top">pserver</a> location and also
70
via anonymous rsync at the Samba <a class="ulink" href="rsync://pserver.samba.org/ftp/unpacked/" target="_top">rsync</a> server location. I recommend using rsync rather
71
than ftp, because rsync is capable of compressing data streams, but it is also more useful than FTP because
72
during a partial update it will transfer only the data that is missing plus a small overhead. See <a class="ulink" href="http://rsync.samba.org/" target="_top">the rsync home page</a> for more info on rsync.
74
The disadvantage of the unpacked trees is that they do not support automatic
75
merging of local changes as Subversion does. <code class="literal">rsync</code> access is most convenient
76
for an initial install.

</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2687856"></a>Verifying Samba's PGP Signature</h2></div></div></div><p>

80
It is strongly recommended that you verify the PGP signature for any source file before
81
installing it. Even if you're not downloading from a mirror site, verifying PGP signatures
82
should be a standard reflex. Many people today use the GNU GPG tool set in place of PGP.
83
GPG can substitute for PGP.
85
With that said, go ahead and download the following files:
86
</p><pre class="screen">
87
<code class="prompt">$ </code><strong class="userinput"><code>wget http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/samba-3.0.20.tar.asc</code></strong>
88
<code class="prompt">$ </code><strong class="userinput"><code>wget http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/samba-pubkey.asc</code></strong>
90
<a class="indexterm" name="id2687919"></a>
91
The first file is the PGP signature for the Samba source file; the other is the Samba public
92
PGP key itself. Import the public PGP key with:
93
</p><pre class="screen">
94
<code class="prompt">$ </code><strong class="userinput"><code>gpg --import samba-pubkey.asc</code></strong>
96
and verify the Samba source code integrity with:
97
</p><pre class="screen">
98
<code class="prompt">$ </code><strong class="userinput"><code>gzip -d samba-3.0.20.tar.gz</code></strong>
99
<code class="prompt">$ </code><strong class="userinput"><code>gpg --verify samba-3.0.20.tar.asc</code></strong>
102
If you receive a message like, “<span class="quote">Good signature from Samba Distribution Verification Key...,</span>”
103
then all is well. The warnings about trust relationships can be ignored. An
104
example of what you would not want to see would be:
105
</p><pre class="screen">

111
After the source tarball has been unpacked, the next step involves
112
configuration to match Samba to your operating system platform.
113
If your source directory does not contain the <code class="literal">configure</code> script,
114
it is necessary to build it before you can continue. Building of
115
the configure script requires the correct version of the autoconf
116
tool kit. Where the necessary version of autoconf is present,
117
the configure script can be generated by executing the following
118
(please note that in Samba 3.4.x, the directory is called source3 instead
120
</p><pre class="screen">
121
<code class="prompt">root# </code> cd samba-3.0.20/source
122
<code class="prompt">root# </code> ./autogen.sh
125
<a class="indexterm" name="id2688052"></a>
126
To build the binaries, run the program <strong class="userinput"><code>./configure
127
</code></strong> in the source directory. This should automatically
128
configure Samba for your operating system. If you have unusual
129
needs, then you may wish to first run:
130
</p><pre class="screen">
131
<code class="prompt">root# </code><strong class="userinput"><code>./configure --help</code></strong>
134
This will help you to see what special options can be enabled. Now execute
135
<strong class="userinput"><code>./configure</code></strong> with any arguments it might need:
136
</p><pre class="screen">
137
<code class="prompt">root# </code><strong class="userinput"><code>./configure <em class="replaceable"><code>[... arguments ...]</code></em></code></strong>
140
<a class="indexterm" name="id2688117"></a>
141
Execute the following create the binaries:
142
</p><pre class="screen">
143
<code class="prompt">root# </code> <strong class="userinput"><code>make</code></strong>
145
Once it is successfully compiled, you can execute the command shown here to
146
install the binaries and manual pages:
147
</p><pre class="screen">
148
<code class="prompt">root# </code> <strong class="userinput"><code>make install</code></strong>
151
Some people prefer to install binary files and man pages separately. If this is
152
your wish, the binary files can be installed by executing:
153
</p><pre class="screen">
154
<code class="prompt">root# </code> <strong class="userinput"><code>make installbin</code></strong>
156
The man pages can be installed using this command:
157
</p><pre class="screen">
158
<code class="prompt">root# </code> <strong class="userinput"><code>make installman</code></strong>
161
Note that if you are upgrading from a previous version of Samba the old
162
versions of the binaries will be renamed with an “<span class="quote">.old</span>” extension.
163
You can go back to the previous version by executing:
164
</p><pre class="screen">
165
<code class="prompt">root# </code> <strong class="userinput"><code>make revert</code></strong>

As you can see from this, building and installing Samba does not need to
