In regard to: Use of rpm with Redhat Enterprise ES 2.1, Kenneth Andresen...: >Hello, > >We recently upgraded our server from Redhat 6.2 to Redhat Enterprise ES 2.1, >and wonder wether we can install rpm's for Redhat 7/8/9 for it. Since ES 2.1 is basically RH 7.2 with a bunch of packages upgraded, if there's not an RPM for the product you want included with ES 2.1, I would grab the *source* RPM from 7.3, and rebuild it on ES 2.1. Binary packages built for 7.2 or 7.3 have a chance of working, but if you can recompile from source RPM you're better off. ES 3 is closer to RH 8.0, but it has a lot of very recent kernel changes backported (think: NPTL), so there you would be better off starting with an 8.0 or RH 9 source RPM and rebuilding.
