[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello Guix!

While trying to get the Gnome desktop up and running on a Pinebook Pro
running Guix, I hit issues building samba.  It turned out there was a
bug in the configure script which just happened to work on x86_64 by
chance.

See <https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14503> for more details,
then we can backport the patch from upstream.

Thanks,
Pierre

Subject: [PATCH] gnu: samba: Fix fcntl hint detection in configure script.

The configure script generates a C program to detect support for
lifetime hints on files.  But this program could crash, potentially
leaving a stale unreadable file behind which could cause the
patch-generated-file-shebang phase to fail.

Reported upstream <https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14503>.

file.
* gnu/packages/samba.scm (samba)[origin]: Add patch.
