After wrecking my system by doing some updates, I was forced to use revdep-rebuild again. So I went to bed for letting the PC work as it wouldn’t need me for compiling. The next morning I woke up and went to the screen and noticed an error message. Samba bailed out:

No 2.6.23 yet
There was really big noise around the new kernel 2.6.23. But is it really worth it? I have waited for the gentoo-sources patchset, added my patches and started testing to satisfy my curiosity.
