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 at ausil.us> to do all of your packages wholesale if
you want.

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?
