The spec is based on fedora 14, the spec in the link as well as on the
srpm are the same.

There should not be a problem, let me know how it goes.

Will update to the latest, depends on the base libraries/version
dependencies. If there is any show stopper, can maintain it in your
repo as well.

These two libraries are available in fedora for a long time

geos-3.2.1
proj-4.7.0

There are now 8 people (including me) maintaining/co-maintaining GDAL
for EPEL and Fedora. If you see the change logs, we are
updating/upgrading/doing bug fixes regularly, it is being maintained
consistently since 2007.

Hope this clarify your doubts
