Description:
Samba 4.8.5 broke macOS's Time Machine support (at least for me), patching in the "follow-up patch" from https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13441 makes it work again.

I verified this by adding this patch to the PKGBUILD, rebuilding and retrying the Time Machine backup.

The issue should have been fixed in samba 4.9 according to the aforementioned thread. I see there's samba 4.9.1 in the arch testing repository, but it has been there for a while now.
Is there any plan to proceed with the release?

Actually, it seems the mentioned bug should be fixed in samba 4.8.6 according to [https://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-4.8.6.html]. Maybe it is better bump to 4.8.6 instead for the time being.
