Wrong approach. Apply Johnny's advice. Or be polite and modify the spec to distinguish between building on fedora >=7 or on Centos (RHEL). Something along the following line should do:

I supplied this as a proposed patch to Rawhide and was told that:
Raw Hide spec files are not designed to be built on any distro other than Raw Hide; you need to fork the spec and keep distro-specific hacks in the fork.
yea, we know ... hence the centos project is supporting rpmrepo and not epel
I don't see how this has anything to do with EPEL. Subversion and perl are core EL product not EPEL.
The specific issue does not ... the concept does (we do things our way only). But that is not really relevant and I do not want to start a flame thread with 1000 posts, so I take back my criticism.
