RHEL 20 and 21 might only have a few items moved over to 7.1 but the majority of things from kernel and GCC and glibc are from 18 and 19. Rhel 6 is based off of fedora 12 and rhel 5 is based off of fedora 6 > -T This is why I used the "weasel" word "essentially". :-) A lot of FC22's RPM will work in SL 7.

Red Hat uses Fedora as their proving/testing ground, then wraps it up into RHEL. -T

Hi Tini, Unfortunately, no. The only exception is that if it is supported by the Fedora project. RHEL and clones are variations of Fedora. SL6 is essentially Fedora Core 13 and SL7 is essentially Fedora Core 21. And often times, Fedora's packages will run directly in SL. If the package your are after is in Fedora and won't directly run in SL, you can go into Red Hat's Bugzilla and ask for an equivalent package in EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux). You go into the new bug, choose Fedora, EPEL and ask the maintainer for a version for EPEL. Here is an example of one of mine and how to ask: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1116208 You will note I got turned down. A lot of this depends on the charity of the maintainer. But, sometimes it works too. -T -- ~~ Computers are like air conditioners. They malfunction when you open windows ~~
Adding files to the sl repo
i'd like to stay with sl6, but there are some programs i need for coding. unfortunately they're not in the repo and i can't add them manually. do the developers take suggestions on files to add to the repo?
