You don't need to mirror the repo for that simply using
yum-plugin-versionlock would be sufficient, unfortunatly now that
solution does not work any more since the freeipa-server package
depends on "pki-ca >= 10.2.0-3" wich in turn depends on the 10.2.x
pki-server and pki-base packages.

I checked out what it would take to backport
jackson-jaxrs-json-provider to CentOS 7 and this is quite a task. The
fedora 21 packages build up a dependency chain wich
includes aspectjweaver, eclipselink, springframework and some more stuff

Does mkosek offer a repo with older builds wich are considered working?
