One could just use the relevant .src.rpm from Fedora and recompile them on RHEL. At least I did that with no problems (*) whatsoever several times with the .src.rpms from Fedora 9 an 10 You can't use directly rpms from Fedora 11 because the formath has changed slightly, but you can install the .src.rpm in Fedora, and copy the contents (spec, sources and patches) to RHEL to rebuild it. (*) You should edit the ipa.spec and change BuildRequires: popt-devel to BuildRequires: popt > Looking at the commit (f018c2123c2b0018af5d41ec007ac8ddf0f04d31), it > appears that an earlier version of mod_nss is okay as long as we don't > need to pass it through mod_proxy.
