Dag still builds for 7.3 and you can get packages from rpm.pbone.net but
bind 9.3.2-10 is the latest bind available from either for rh 7.3
But there are many, many current packages (for instance
clamav-0-0.93.3-1.rh7.rf). There are a lot that are not such as openssl
(latest from dag is 0.9.7i-2) which has to be build from source. But Dag and
FreshRpms (3) still maintain 7.3 repositories for yum.
