Patch to Samba EL8 packaging to enable winexe (apply with git apply -p2) none

Description Neal Gompa 2020-08-26 17:13:01 UTC 
Description of problem:
These days, the winexe tool is maintained as part of the Samba source tree, rather than as an independent project.

Please build winexe and offer it as a subpackage from the samba source package.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.12.3-12.el8.3

Additional info:
Originally, winexe was a separate project, but with samba 4.4, the headers it needed to build were removed, and the sources were absorbed into samba itself. It can only be built from the samba source tree.

(This the RHEL/CentOS equivalent RFE to bug 1661213)

Patch to Samba EL8 packaging to enable winexe (apply with git apply -p2)

I've attached a patch for the RHEL 8 packaging based on the latest content in c8s branch in the CentOS Dist-Git at this time to enable winexe. It can be applied to the RHEL Dist-Git with "git apply -p2" (which accounts for the extra SPECS directory in the patch path and should apply it properly anyway).

I've also submitted a PR to the Fedora samba package to mirror this change: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/samba/pull-request/14
