[Samba] Trying to build Samba from source on RHEL 8

Tue Jun 6 18:59:53 UTC 2023

Hi,

In case you might be interested in the src.rpms with the AD part (might 
save you some time), there are a few (maintained) sources around:

http://samba.tranquil.it/centos8/samba-4.16.10-srcrpm
http://vince.cojot.name/dist/samba/samba-4.16.10/RHEL8/SRPMS/

Due to the dependencies, if you want to keep your RHEL systems clean, it's 
actually some work if you want to avoid replacing system libs.

My 2c,

Vincent
