[rt-users] Installing RT on RHEL 4.

[Paul Crossman]

It would be nice to use RPMS for all the perl modules, and you're right,
there are a lot of them to build.  Has anyone gone through the effort to
archive SRPMS somewhere?  I haven't built an RPM in ages.  Honestly, I
haven't had the need to before now.

I'd like to stick with RPMS, however, I think the folks here would rather
have this sooner rather than later.  

The complete goal of what I'm doing is to migrate a 3.0.12 install from
Windows to Linux and then upgrade that Linux install to 3.4.x.

I did the job with a RHEL 3 clone, with rt-3.0.10, and I intend to 
continue the work upgrading to RHEL4 (may take sometime).

My suggestion guideline is "stay with the distro packages" as much as 
possible. Otherwise you'll have to maintain every package or dependency 
yourself (and believe me it's a hard task sometimes).

What I had to do was to build some (a lot, actually) of perl modules RPMS 
that weren't on the distribution and the dependencies of this modules 
(sometimes causing an upgrade to an existing one).
