Mangix 3 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 ksmbd is a more performant version of Samba. Located here: https://github.com/cifsd-team/cifsd and https://github.com/cifsd-team/ksmbd-tools Given that most devices supported by Armbian are underpowered, it would be great to get this installable via apt. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solution TRS-80 119 Posted November 26, 2020 Solution Share Posted November 26, 2020 Userland (apt, packages, etc.) is all Debian (or Ubuntu, depending on what you install). Armbian is focused on low level stuff particular to these little boards (boot, kernel, dtb, firmware, etc.). So, I imagine you would have to petition some Debian maintainer, or the ksmbd project directly? I am Debian user, but still not to the point of packaging, yet. I suppose it's only a matter of time... But I digress. Anyway, that might take a while. In the meantime you could build it yourself, looks like... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mangix 3 Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 Hmm I thought there were specific armbian packages. OK then. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TRS-80 119 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) @Mangix, There are a few, like Armbian particular tools for instance: ┌─[ 2020-11-27 13:16 trs-80@cubietruck:~ ] └─▶ $ dpkg-query -l '*armbian*' Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-=====================-============-============-================================= un armbian-bsp <none> <none> (no description available) ii armbian-config 20.08.22 all Armbian configuration utility ii armbian-firmware 20.08.22 all Linux firmware un armbian-firmware-full <none> <none> (no description available) un armbian-hostapd <none> <none> (no description available) un armbian-tools <none> <none> (no description available) un armbian-tools-buster <none> <none> (no description available) ii armbian-tools-jessie 5.60 armhf Armbian tools, Cubie bt utils un armbian-u-boot <none> <none> (no description available) Also I noticed, while poking around in Armbian repositories it seems we package our (hardware specific) kernels, U-Boot, and some other things as Debian packages. Which I think is a quite good idea, although I could see how it might lead to some confusion as in the case of your OP. But other than those few things above which are particular to hardware or the Armbian project itself, all the other packages are just straight from vanilla Debian (or Ubuntu) repos. Which to me is one of the great strengths of Armbian. Edited November 27, 2020 by TRS-80 add last paragraph 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
