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]
