A friend has a box with linux MDK 8.2 and prefers not to upgrade.
Since MDK stopped (or is going to stop) support for that system, how could he keep up with security upgrades?
Should he abandon rpm and compile everything or should he use rpms available on the Internet?

He could use source rpm's. That way he still has the package control of RPM, and adds to it the ability to get the latest source package for an application and compile it for his system.
