how to add condor related packages (and their dependencies) to EPEL

[Trevor Hemsley]

Without wishing to reopen a can of worms, this should be an interesting

since these are already in RHEMRG. e.g.

ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/RHEMRG/SRPMS/condor-7.4.1-0.7.1.el5.src.rpm
