That doesn't always work so well. Try building an old openldap src rpm (say, 2.4.x) in a current Fedora/RHEL environment for fun. Modern rpm has deprecated stuff, and barfs at your (builddepends), it has gotten tighter wrt patch application (so patches that applied with fuzz now barf), and dependencies have moved and mutated in various ways. enjoy :-) m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first ~ http://docs.moodle.org/en/User:Martin_Langhoff -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

If there was yum in fc6 (I don't know) you can setup a yum was in fc6 b/c it was the basis for rhel5, and rhel5 inherited its yum from fc6. yum.repos.d-config for fc6 and do something: yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=fc6 --installroot="$chroot_dir" \ --nogpgcheck -y install yum mount all needed: mount -t proc foo $chroot_dir/proc mount -t sysfs foo $chrrot_dir/sys chroot $chroot_dir /bin/bash --login remove rpm-database and related stuff afterwards and reinit: cd /var/lib/rpm&& rm -rf *&& rpm --initdb re-populate rpmdb with installed pkgs: yum install yum Afterwards you can setup everything else.

To test / bench / verify old behaviour of PHP4, I need to install FC6 in a chroot. Mock doesn't seem to work, given a reasoanble config file pointing to the archive repo.
