[Bug 1475118] Re: It would be nice to get Samba 4.2 in Wily (4.1 in Maintenance mode for 6 more months. EOL by 10/2016)

[msaxl]

debian now has samba 4.2.1 in experimental. This should be a good
starting point

I've used samba 4.1 and now I am on 4.2 on arch (used as ad-server). 4.2
to me seems to be more stable (winbindd simply works better than the now
obsolete "source4" winbind; even on winbindd they made some
improvements), so I would be happy to see 4.2 in 5.10
