for more information about the security fix
- Changed download address from us1.samba.org to
download.samba.org
- Seperated and updated gpg verification
- Set to re-use existing tarball for re-installation
- I couldn't built 2.2.8 without OpenSSL (even though I
never told it to use it), low on time to figure out why
it's using it now, so I'll just make it work instead of
finding out why <g>:
- Added openssl as a prerequisite
- Added --with-ssl to configure
- Added use of LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS (--with-ssllib and
--with-sslinc didn't help any)
Anyway, I think it's because I have CUPS installed, but
I'm not sure...
