Why you return back from git to svn? And why you use gitorious instead github 
which is better service from my POV?

Hmm, cmake is more advanced solution then autotools. I think that if this is 
case and it is already fixed, then support only the latest build or modified 
build is enough solution ( or you can link to your project new cmake to make it 
compile, so target RPM is fine).

Nice, do you plan to create useful first page? It really helps.
