Is it possible to install a Fedora package on RedHat Linux Server? - linux

I would like to install KDevelop on RedHat Linux Server v.7. Although there is no an appropriate RPM for RH Server, such an RPM does exist for Fedora.Since both Fedora and RH Server have the same code base and are supported by the same company, is it possible to install a Fedora RPM on RH Server? If yes, how can I do that?

Add the EPEL repository from Fedora to the list of repositories.
Once the repository will be added, you will be able of installing kdevelop using yum.

I am not sure if some package management tools (e.g., subscription-manager, dnf) to handle the dependency issues. Thanks!
Amazon Linux is based on RHEL and Fedora, but is not RHEL or Fedora. Fedora EPEL is made on RHEL and will also work on CentOS and other rebuilds which aim to be just like RHEL. It looks like you are hitting an area where Amazon Linux is different. Your options are:
Rebuild all of those missing packages on Amazon Linux
Install Octave and all dependencies from source rather than RPM
Use RHEL, Fedora, or CentOS

yum install subversion1.4.3

How can I reach/install an old subversion package (v1.4.3) without build any sources ?
In fact, the distrib I use is not a FC1 but a "Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 5)".
Do you know some "subversion binaries repositories" where such a configuration may be available for download ?
You can get the RHEL 4 RPM for Subversion 1.4.3 from the DAG RPM repository. The repository web site has a FAQ on configuring Yum for access.
