Does anyone know if there is an easy way to fix bind (bind-chroot)
running in an old machine running FC7 so that it offers the same

bind-chroot-9.5.0-28.P1.fc8
and
bind-9.5.0-33.P1.fc9.i386
??
Can one use the src rpm for F8 and re-configure it for FC7?
Sure, you should be able to rebuild the F-8 bind srpm or update bind
on F-7 to 9.4.2-P1.
Then you'll get to do it again soon for any other packages that have
security problems. IMO, your time would be better spent updating
those boxes to a supported release of Fedora (or RHEL or CentOS) --
unless you're already quite good at building packages and backporting
patches.
I guess there are still quite a lot of servers in use that are
running EOLed Fedoras.
That means a lot of admins get to see how much work is really involved
in keeping software up to date (or learn the joys of having their
boxes rooted).
