I've some unmaintained SRPM bundling work at
https://github.com/nkadel/subversion-1.8.x-srpm which may help you
build actual RPM's.

You can also check the patches for CentOS or RHEL 7 at
https://git.centos.org/, or look in more depth at
https://git.centos.org/summary/rpms!httpd.git

The interface there is still pretty poor: you're actually better off
grabbing the SRPM's at https://vault.centos.org/.
