As the day has passed, I 'poked' the EPEL package database

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/rpms/abiword/

and as the link Pat noted earlier in the day says, this starts 
a countdown clock to slide the package into eligibility for 
EPEL 7

only if one does not poke ;)

package building has many paths for solution -- At this state 
of the art, the one EPEL uses with 'mock' and 'koji' and 
signing and bugzilla and more is mature and worth using, in 
deference to local solutions

I have a local solution in a 'scratch build' environment, 
yielding: abiword-3.0.1-2.el7.centos.src.rpm.  It 'runs' at 
least to the extent of showing the Help | About dialog [1].  I 
have it rebuilding 'for external record' and in about an hour 
MY version of the SRPM will be up at my FTP site.  I know it 
pulls out some Pythonic API and 'gir' parts.  As I don't use 
them, I don't care about ripping them out


According to 'RawHide', Fedora and so EPEL should be at:

$ srcfind abiword | grep -i rawhide
 ... 
/var/ftp/pub/nfs/mirror/redhat/rawhide2016/a/abiword-3.0.1-4.fc23.src.rpm

with some minor changes in the Changelog after the point I 
forked from: 

* Sat May 02 2015 Kalev Lember <[log in to unmask]> - 
1:3.0.1-4

soon, soon
