no idea if your guess is right, and checking my binary solve 

environment is not something that is fast or free -- SRPMs are 

offered for what they are.  If the main distribution, or 

something EPEL should happen to 'overtake' and 

displace something in that pile while running a 'yum update 

...'  it would be fine with me, as I strive, but to not test 

that

The Red Hat provided 'git' which CentOS is fed from may be 

used to build SRPMs seemingly without change by the CentOS 

folks

umm -- at the top of the archive:

	ftp://ftp.owlriver.com/pub/mirror/ORC/README



(go read -- I'll wait)



I add no non-freely licensed content to the archive at: 

	ftp.owlriver.com



all is redistributable save that something might be 

retro-actively found as containing non-free matter.  As I 

don't patrol for that, I would not remove such (There was an 

instance some years ago where an upstream CD respin was 

needed when non-free content was found in (as memory serves) a 

non-free font was found in RHL.  I would miss seeing that]
