Not specifically about those, but just in terms of compatibility between a fedora src rpm and the Centos environment. A lot of things have changed in libraries and rpm syntax between centos 6 and current fedora so you are fairly likely to have some problems rebuilding an unmodified src rpm. On the other hand you should still be able to find fedora 19 src rpms and that environment should be very similar to Centos 7. So the rpmbuild would be much more likely to 'just work' - with the result also being very likely to be compatible with what would land in EPEL if the maintainer decides to add it.
Ah, so taking the src from remlab.net might not successfully build. Putting up a Centos 7 beta (I could redo rigel to C7) and getting the F19 source, I should be more successful.
You can try it on C6, but it may take some tweaking in the spec file.
So where is miredo for F19? Not at:
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/19/Fedora/source/SRPM...
Look under: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/19/Everything/source/...
And you'll need to 'yum install rpm-build' if you don't have it, along with development tools.
If you can find an archive with one that worked on fedora 13 it would have a better chance of rebuilding on Centos 6.
