You can check out the EPEL pages in the wiki for more info. The main differences are layed out here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/GuidelinesAndPolicies
Mainly that you don't upgrade packages in a release without good reason (security fixes) and you don't break compatibility. Otherwise you cat request EPEL branches (EL-4, EL-5) in the normal way or you can ask Dennis Gilmore <dennis ausil us> to do all of your packages wholesale if you want.
Nevertheless, there will be a chicken-egg problem: xmlrpc-c buildrequires cmake and cmake buildrequires xmlrpc-c.
I'm CCing the epel list for how to get around this. Some notes:- cmake can be built with its own copy of xmlrpc-c. Could do this to get it in then shift to system version.
- Perhaps we could could grab older versions of the two packages from a compatible FE release and then rebuild?
