Different package, but the same type of problem. I had slrn installed from the RH 7.1 distro and wanted to upgrade it to the current version. However, no rpm that I could find was available for RH 7.1 that had the current version. The approach I finally ended up doing was to download the rawhide version src.rpm that was based on basically the current version. I extracted the slrn.spec file and pointed it at the tarball that I had downloaded from slrn.org. I also removed from the slrn.spec file all dependency references (figured the tarball would complain if it needed something), removed all references to slrnpull (did not need it), and did a rpmbuild -bb. Then did a rpm -U of the new one. Is this the "best" approach to take? If so, when doing this in the future, what issues should one be careful to consider during the process?
