How to patch Fedora Core 2 Bind RPM?

[Jeff Lightner]

FC2 is really old so I don't know that anyone would have compiled
anything newer for it.  Certainly not the Fedora main repositories.
You might want to see if Dag Weirs' site has it.

You'll probably have to download source and compile your own.

I'd recommend planning for installing something a lot newer than FC2 if
you're really concerned about security.   When I first got here we had
DNS on RH 7.3 (even older than FC2).   I was able to reload the slave
server with a newer Linux then do the primary later.

You also probably shouldn't use Fedora for a Production DNS - Fedora is
bleeding edge so it rolls out new versions and discards old ones on a
fairly aggressive time frame.   If you don't want to pay for RedHat
(RHEL) then you can install CentOS which is compiled from the RHEL
sources.

Subject: How to patch Fedora Core 2 Bind RPM?

I have a Fedora Core 2 box that is running BIND 9.2.3-13 and I want to
update to the latest patch due to the DNS issue. How can I upgrade my
RPM
install? Is there an RPM that is independent of the  Fedora OS?
Or is it possible to compile and use the patch installed from source
overtop
my RPM?

Any help would be great.

Thanks.
