samba-server - 3.5.10-4: Fails to start, overwrites configuration

[siavashs]

I recently updated samba-server to 3.5.10-4
The service fails to start since /run/geexbox/network/smbd does not exist :

root@geexbox:~$ systemctl status smbd
smbd.service - Samba File Sharing Service
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/smbd.service; disabled)
   Active: inactive (dead) since Wed 2015-04-15 22:33:20 IRDT; 30s ago
           start condition failed at Wed 2015-04-15 22:33:46 IRDT; 5s ago
           ConditionPathExists=/run/geexbox/network/smbd was not met
  Process: 23536 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/smbd -F (code=killed, signal=TERM)
 Main PID: 23536 (code=killed, signal=TERM)

Also the configuration file /etc/smbd.conf was overwritten without warning!

Now, you need to explicitly set it to true in /etc/network or using the
add-on program on xbmc

Also the configuration file |/etc/smbd.conf| was overwritten without
warning!
Ok, that's something we need to work on.

The fact that smbd did not honor etc/network was a long standing bug. As for overwriting smb.conf: This should be fixed in 13a3d47
