RPM for Red Hat 7.3

[William M. Quarles]

Is it possible that you could continue building and
distributing packages for Red Hat 7.3?  A lot of people are
still using it, and I was able to build your "RH8" source rpm
just fine on an RH 7.3 system

I initially planned to, but one of my HD failed and I'm waiting for the
replacement. Then I'll have enough HD room to do it.

Or if I can find some time to upgrade a RH7.1 box (unlikely in the
future 2 months).

Any word on this?  If not, could someone provide me with instructions 
for building it myself?

Good thing you remind me of it. I received the replacement drive, but I
hadn't had the time to install anything unto it yet. And I leave for 10
days tomorrow morning.

If you're willing to put your hands at it, you can begin by downloading
the RH8 SRPM and rebuilding it (ideally after changing the extraversion
to something else). I can't think of something going wrong, except if
RH7.3 doesn't have the necessary version of some build tools (autoconf,
gcc, etc.). If something goes wrong, try to investigate and fix it
(obviously). I can't recall something possibly causing problem though.

I will give it a try tomorrow.
