This is a request that the winexe program be made available to
Debian users.
Winexe is a GNU/Linux variant of psexec. It is a command-line utility
allowing an arbitrary command to be run on a remote Windows machine.
Please see #593261 for the discussion that led to the submission of
this report.
The latest winexe code is available at:
git://winexe.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/winexe/winexe
The last change was made in July 2010 by the author, Andrzej Hajda,
with whom an associate of mine has recently been in contact.
The license is GPL3.
At this moment the winexe source code consists of an old snapshot of
Samba 4 to which the winexe code proper has been added, resulting in
a self-sufficient build environment. Obviously the code is unsuitable
for Debian in its present form. The winexe code proper has to be
separated out and built against packaged Samba libraries. A cursory
inspection does not give the impression that this would be very
difficult, however.
