[Gslug-general] apt-get & fedora

[daleville at gmail.com]

The moral of this story is that this guy needs to upgrade php, mysql,
and apache to the latest versions. Unless there is a repo (apt or yum)
out there that contains these packages then this package manager
discussion is pointless.

Since I doubt there are prebuilt packages available for Fedora Core 3 I
might try finding and using some rpms built for RHEL 4.

For example quick search yielded:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.1.html#linux-rhel4-x86-32bit-rpms
http://oss.oracle.com/projects/php/files/EL4/i386/

I couldn't quickly find any apache 2.2 packages but I'm sure they are
out there. The most time consuming part would be finding any dependent
packages.

If I were you I'd convince them to upgrade to the most recent version of
fedora (10). It would make your life much easier. Or better yet choose a
distro that doesn't EOL so quickly.
