It's a lot of backporting to get things like this onto older OS releases, such as RHEL. versus Fedora. I publish a *lot* of these over at https://github.com/nkadel/ including backports of Samba 4.x, and used to publish Subversion backports over at RPMforge. Repoforge has an out of date abiword compatible for SL 6, perhaps you could start from there, so you might try starting from http://apw.sw.be/source/ EPEL is unwilling to replace RHEL, and thus CentOS and Scientitific Linux, base packages, and building up the dependency tree for older packages can get into dependency hell *really fast*. If it's only a few components, it's fairly easy to set up a local SRPM build environment, with a localized yum repo setup, to build up the components with "mock". Take a look at my setup for RT 4.4, at https://github.com/nkadel/rt4builder-4.4.x, for a pretty powerful example with subdirectories for individual components, and the dependencies laid out to build in order. That was for RT, which has a *big* Perl dependency tree. I used to backport it to SL 6, but the dependencies cot out of hand when I had to update libwww. I've been trying to do it for the awscli, the AWS command line interface, and that is *really, really painful*.
