I have been running 4.25 for a while now, and it seems to work adequately. I don't see why we should have port versions that are actively EOLed by upstream. For Samba, that looks like 4.22 and lower. And 4.23 is in "security fixes only" mode, so it will not have any other bugs fixed. That said, I also think the problem is that we are carrying quite a lot of FreeBSD specific patches in our Samba ports, and these should really be upstreamed. But that is quite a lot of rather tedious work. -Dimitry
