I would like to know the best way to update packages for an old RH7 server.
Currently, I am only interested in rebuilding the Samba 2.2.5-7 package to work with on my server. I downloaded the Samba 2.2.5-7 SRPM file from RawHide. When I did a "rpm --rebuild samba-2.2.5-7.src.rpm", it told me that I had missing files. Specifically, pam-devel and libacl-devel. So, I tried to install those files, but there were more failed dependencies. So I installed THOSE files as well... on and on and on and on!!! Man, RPM sucks! However, I do understand the reasoning behind it, so if this is what I have to do, then so be it. Here's my question, if I finally do manage to do a successful "rpm --rebuild samba-2.2.5-7.src.rpm", then can I take that freshly created RPM and install it on other RH7 servers as well or will I have to install a bunch of other support files (like libacl, etc.).
