  Affects: users of net/samba34

  Author: timur@FreeBSD.org

  Reason: 
    This port was developed with the generous help of Florent Brodin.
  
    The default passdb backend has been changed to `tdbsam'! That breaks
    existing setups using the `smbpasswd' backend without explicit
    declaration! Please use `passdb backend = smbpasswd' if you would like
    to stick to the `smbpasswd' backend or convert your smbpasswd entries
    using e.g. `pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e tdbsam'.
  
    The `tdbsam' backend is much more flexible concerning per user
    settings like `profile path' or `home directory' and there are some
    commands which do not work with the `smbpasswd' backend at all.
  
  

• port moved to net/samba36 on 2013-06-04
  REASON: Removed: Unmaintained by upstream
  

Samba34 is no more maintained upstream and expired for 3 month, consider using
samba36

- Convert USE_ICONV=yes to USES=iconv
- Change USE_GNOME=pkgconfig|gnomehack to USES=pathfix|pkgconfig while here

Finish converting the whole ports tree to USES=pkgconfig

Mark port deprecated

Adjust samba sites so that they can be used by other ports that fetch from the
same origin.

Feature safe:	yes

new devel/pkgconf added to replace devel/pkg-config. new version of pkg-config
are no more self hosting so we are stuck with 0.25 version while pkgconf provide
the same set of features as 0.27 and a compatible frontend. A symlink to
pkg-config has been added for convenience and compatibility

This also introduces a new macro to use pkgconf in your ports:
USE_PKGCONFIG

it can take the following arguments:
 - yes (meaning build only dep)
 - build (meaning build only dep)
 - run (meaning run only dep)
 - both (meaning run and build dep)

From now USE_GNOME= pkgconfig is deprecated in favour of USE_PKGCONFIG
The old gnome macro has been modified to use pkgconf but still the sameway: run
and build dep to avoid large breakage.

While here fix some ports relying on pkg-config but not specifying it, fix some
ports broken because testing wrong .pc files, and fix ports using pkg-config
--version to determine pkg-config version instead of
pkg-config --modversion pkg-config like recommanded by pkg-config

Security update to address Samba incorrect permission checks vulnerability
(CVE-2012-2111):

 - Update net/samba34 to 3.4.17
 - Update net/samba35 to 3.5.15
 - Update net/samba36 to 3.6.5

Security:       0fa15e08-92ec-11e1-a94a-00215c6a37bb
Approved by:    maintainer

The samba rc.d script uses some clever tricks to start (up to) 3 different
services using the same script. As a result it resets rcvar several times
in order to process the options for each service.

The changes I made on 2012/01/14 to facilitate the removal of set_rc_var()
from HEAD were effective in the case where the WINBIND option was off (the
case that I tested) because that causes the related portions of the rc.d
script to be removed completely on install. However, if installed from a
package, or installed using the the default OPTIONS, WINBIND is on, which
caused the last known rcvar to be winbind_enable.

Since the common case seems to be for users to use samba_enable (which
only enables smb_and nmb_ by default) the fact that rcvar=winbind_enable,
but that knob is off, caused the startup script to trip on a totally
unrelated portion of rc.subr.

Security update to address root credential remote code execution issue
(CVE-2012-1182):

 - Update samba36 to 3.6.4;
 - Update samba35 to 3.5.14;
 - Update samba34 to 3.4.16;

All samba users are advised to update.

With hat:       secteam@

In the rc.d scripts, change assignments to rcvar to use the
literal name_enable wherever possible, and ${name}_enable
when it's not, to prepare for the demise of set_rcvar().

In cases where I had to hand-edit unusual instances also
modify formatting slightly to be more uniform (and in
some cases, correct). This includes adding some $FreeBSD$
tags, and most importantly moving rcvar= to right after
name= so it's clear that one is derived from the other.

- Add LDFLAGS to CONFIGURE_ENV and MAKE_ENV (as it was done with LDFLAGS)
- Fix all ports that add {CPP,LD}FLAGS to *_ENV to modify flags instead

Make samba* work with autoconf-2.67 on 6.x

I'm not entirely sure why it compiles on 7.x/8.x, but nevertheless, the
autoconf-specific parts to these patches absolutely need to go upstream.
