Patches for Recent or Unsupported Releases

In order to better support the Samba community, this page contains recommended patches for the most recent production releases. These patches have been integrated into the main Samba development trees for the next version of Samba.

Follow these instructions for applying patches:

$ tar zxvf samba-3.x.y.tar.gz
$ cd samba-3.x.y
$ patch -p1 < "downloaded_patch_file"
$ cd source

Or use the quilt tool to apply all patches to a known series. For example:

$ tar zxvf samba-3.0.24.tar.gz
$ cd samba-3.0.24
$ wget http://www.samba.org/samba/patches/fetch-patches
$ sh ./fetch-patches 3.0.24
$ quilt push -a
$ cd source

....build Samba as normal....

Please note that in some cases it will be necessary to regenerate the configure script by executing autogen.sh located in the source/ directory. In all cases, it is best to do a clean build after applying any patches.
