http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/pub/coda/doc/coda-manual.tgz
Modified 14-May-2002 according to FTP.  Maybe useful?  Maybe not... I
don't know.

You'd be a lot better off getting the src.rpm packages and using
'rpmbuild --rebuild' to produce packages for your own platform. 
--nodeps would probably produce non-functional binaries.

Maybe.  There's also InterMezzo:

Coda Installation

2002-09-08 Thread Carl Brown 

Is coda a dead project?
Does anyone have instructions that _work_?
Does coda work?
The installation instructions in the docs are highly defective,
and were last modified three and a half years ago, according to the ftp 
server at CMU.

I dl'ed:

coda-doc-5.2.0-1.noarch.rpm  (which shows modified 03/12/99)
coda-debug-backup-5.3.19-1.i386.rpm
coda-debug-client-5.3.19-1.i386.rpm
coda-debug-server-5.3.19-1.i386.rpm
lwp-1.8-1.i386.rpm
rpc2-1.13-1.i386.rpm
rvm-1.6-1.i386.rpm

rvm and lwp installed, but rpc2 started the descent into the failed 
dependency quagmire with readline.so.3 and libncurses.so.4. It continues to 
refuse to install even after I symlinked those to the actual installed 
versions, .4.1 and .5.2 respectively, as installed on this RH 7.1 system. 
Further research showed that readline has been at 4.1 since at least RH 5.0, 
so I can't even dust off an old enough version to satisfy this antique 
requirement.

Should I just --nodeps them and go?
Or should I look for another network filesystem?
