You might be interested in Software Collections. See
<https://www.softwarecollections.org/>. This is basically a system for
packaging RPMs that instal in /opt instead of into the distribution proper.
And although I haven't done this, I believe that they are integrated with
Coprs (<http://copr.fedoraproject.org/>), which is a buildsystem for making
and hosting your own repositories. This will build for Fedora or RHEL/CentOS
(or both at once).
