Hi Fernando.

Is it possible to recompile it for CentOS 7 since CentOS 7 is derived
from Fedora 19? Many packages from Fedora 19 works as is on CentOS 7,
only those where packages for Fedora 19 gone forward(newer) can create
problems.

It would only take one VPS with CentOS 7 to recompile Fedora 19 packages on.

If you need help or working VPS please say so and I will see what I can
do with CentOS Project devs. Maybe even SiG/Variant can be formed to
help you with anything you need.

CentOS 7 will be around till 2024 so having RT kernel and audio packages
would be excellent and it should not take too much time to maintain
(CentOS packages do not change that much).
