It's built for EPEL 6 and Fedora, they maintainer probably needs to
branch it for EPEL7.

No longer built for CentOS7.

EPEL.

No longer built for CentOS7.

EPEL.

It looks like you ought to look at EPEL
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) before coming back to the list
with another list.

I see that Fedora have packages for system-config-services and
system-config-nfs, but it isn't built for EL7.  I suspect that
system-config-services is out of date since the switch to systemd as
an init service.  system-config-nfs appears to have stopped
development, so it's also not that useful anymore.

I wouldn't expect there to be a one to one equivalent of every package
in CentOS5 in CentOS7.  Perhaps you should reconsider your
dependencies rather than trying to find an exact duplicate.
