Just FYI, EPEL5 and EPEL6 now have functioning %autosetup implementations. For EPEL6 there are no caveats; for EPEL6, if you have patches numbered higher than Patch99999: then you will need to set %el5_patches_limit appropriately. But, uh, why would you do that?

All documented at https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=EPEL:Packaging shortly.
