To test / bench / verify old behaviour of PHP4, I need to install FC6

Mock doesn't seem to work, given a reasoanble config file pointing to
the archive repo. Are there any good / recommended alternatives? Or is
mock expected to work?

Hello Martin!

If there was yum in fc6 (I don't know) you can setup a
yum was in fc6 b/c it was the basis for rhel5, and rhel5
inherited its yum from fc6.

yum.repos.d-config for fc6 and do something:

   yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=fc6 --installroot="$chroot_dir" \
   --nogpgcheck -y install yum

mount all needed:

   mount -t proc foo $chroot_dir/proc
   mount -t sysfs foo $chrrot_dir/sys
   chroot $chroot_dir /bin/bash --login

remove rpm-database and related stuff afterwards and reinit:

   cd /var/lib/rpm&&  rm -rf *&&  rpm --initdb

re-populate rpmdb with installed pkgs:

   yum install yum

Afterwards you can setup everything else.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
   Björn
