[Bug 1219752] Re: Upgrade to 6.1 in Saucy

[Mantas Kriaučiūnas]

** Description changed:

- Release announcement here:
- https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2013-July/093601.html
+ Please merge cifs-utils 6.4-1 from Debian testing or unstable to Ubuntu
+ 14.10 - Ubuntu Utopic still has buggy 1.5 year old 6.0 release :(
  
- Just a few minor bugfixes, so shouldn't be that problematic to upload,
- even at this stage. I hope.
+ Only one minor difference should be left in Ubuntu packages:
+   - debian/control: Demote winbind from Recommends to Suggests. This avoids
+     winbind being pulled onto the CD images when it's not required.
  
- EDIT: The new version is already in Debian testing, so it should be a
- simple matter of syncing it.
+ Release notes from http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/LinuxCIFS_utils :
+ 
+  July 11, 2014: Release 6.4
+     allow PAM directory to be configurable
+     better determination of default keytab file
+     better cifscreds error handling
+     uppercase devicename when retrying mount
+     https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2014-July/101132.html 
+ 
+ January 9, 2014: Release 6.3
+     fixes for various bugs turned up by Coverity
+     clean unused cruft out of upcall binary
+     add new pam_cifscreds PAM module for establishing NTLM creds on login
+     https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2014-January/097124.html
