So should I be concerned that my server hasn't downloaded any updates
to samba, and a check of
http://packages.debian.org/etch/samba shows
that its not actually available for arm servers ?
Is there any way of finding out why it isn't available ? I suspect its
due to a shortage of build servers, but it could be that the bugs
fixed in the latest verson don't apply to non-FPU code.
Yours curiously,
Alex.
