I'm using a Fedora 13 VM, and I need to install some old rpms, but only have the source rpm files. I know that I can use rpmbuild --rebuild to build the binaries, but for whatever reason, rpm-build isn't installed with yum, and I can only find a source rpm file of rpm-build for fc13. So it's a bit of a recursive problem. The specific rpms I need are libvncserver, and obviously rpm-build, but it would be ideal to know how to start with a generic SRPM and get it to work on Fedora 13, for any future needs that come up.How can I solve this? I'm open to any suggestions,  but I must use Fedora 13.
How to install packages for old version of Fedora?
fedora;yum;rpm;rpmbuild
You can probably just use the yum repo they include with the full DVD ISO. I downloaded the ISO to a RHEL6 server, mounted it on loopback and created the following in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo:[root@vlp-xxx tmp]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo[fedora]name='Fedora base sur DVD - monter le dvd dans /repo/dvd'baseurl=file:///mnt/tmpenabled=0gpgcheck=0Which then gave me all the Fedora 13 rpm's:[root@vlp-xxx tmp]# yum list available --disablerepo='*' --enablerepo=fedora | headLoaded plugins: product-id, security, subscription-managerAvailable PackagesBackupPC.noarch                        3.1.0-13.fc13                      fedoraConsoleKit.i686                        0.4.1-5.fc13                       fedoraConsoleKit-libs.i686                   0.4.1-5.fc13                       fedoraConsoleKit-x11.i686                    0.4.1-5.fc13                       fedoraDeviceKit-power.i686                   1:0.9.0-1.fc13                     fedoraGConf2.i686                            2.28.1-1.fc13                      fedoraGConf2-devel.i686                      2.28.1-1.fc13                      fedoraGConf2-gtk.i686                        2.28.1-1.fc13                      fedora[...snip...]And your package seems to be in there:[root@vlp-xxx tmp]# yum info rpm-build --disablerepo='*' --enablerepo=fedoraLoaded plugins: product-id, security, subscription-managerInstalled Packages[...snip...]Available PackagesName        : rpm-buildArch        : i686Version     : 4.8.0Release     : 14.fc13Size        : 125 kRepo        : fedoraSummary     : Scripts and executable programs used to build packagesURL         : http://www.rpm.org/License     : GPLv2+Description : The rpm-build package contains the scripts and executable programs            : that are used to build packages using the RPM Package Manager.
