 Nope, nothing too interesting yet.

 In general, it can either be easy, or really hard.  It depends on what 
the SRPM depends upon.  You're likely to have some problems building some 
RH9 packages on Aurora 1.0, as a lot of things changed between RH7.3 (on 
which AL1.0 is based) and even RH8.

 The Apache you're not going to find in RH9; they're using 2.0.40 there, 
which will also probably keep you from using their PHP SRPM (which is only 
4.2.2 anyway).  PLD (Polish Linux Distribution) has an Apache 1.3.28 RPM, 
and Severn (RedHat's next beta) has PHP 4.3.2; tweaking their .spec files 
might be your best bet.

 Good luck!
