Sure - but honestly I didn't do too much. I get the feeling you
weren't expecting it to work? Basically I re-used the buildroots.xml
from fc3 for all of them and it seems to work fine. After running
creatrepo in the appropriate places in the repositories, it was just
a matter of pointing the configs to the right place. For FC2 and
lower I needed to change the mock config from:
config_opts['runuser'] = '/sbin/runuser'
to
config_opts['runuser'] = '/bin/su'
To get the dist tags working (buildsys-macros), I needed to use /etc/
rpm/macros instead of /etc/rpm/macros.disttag. I'm guessing that the
older versions of rpmbuild only looked at '/etc/rpm/macros', but I
haven't confirmed this yet.
By the way, the host machine is FC4.

So far everything seems to work. I've tested out cfengine and a
couple other packages. I'll put up my configs somewhere and write up
a wiki page with the step-by-step details.
