Hi Chris,

To backport Samba 4.0.0+dfsg1-1 to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin),
you’ll need to follow these steps:

Obtain the Source: Get the source package for Samba 4.0.0+dfsg1-1 from a
newer Ubuntu release or directly from the Samba project's repositories.

Install Build Dependencies: Make sure you have the build dependencies
installed on your Ubuntu 12.04 system. You can typically do this with
apt-get build-dep samba.

Modify the Source: Adjust the packaging files as needed for
compatibility with Ubuntu 12.04. This includes updating control files
and any patches required for the older distribution.

Build the Package: Use dpkg-buildpackage to compile the package<a
href="https://countingtools.com/tap-counter/";>.</a> This might require
resolving any dependency issues that arise during the build process.

Test the Package: Before deploying, thoroughly test the backported
package to ensure it works as expected and does not introduce any
regressions.

Install the Package: Once built, install the package using dpkg -i and
check for any issues.

If you run into specific problems during the backporting process,
providing error messages or additional context can help in getting more
targeted assistance.
