RedHat is deprecating FreeRADIUS for ISPs

[BuzzSaw Code]

For the packages you guys build, specifically for the RPMs, can we get the
src rpm provided ?  I've built the RPMs from the Git sources a few times
but it would be easier for our own internal automation if we had the src
RPMs available.

We had been using the ones provided by RedHat for a while but they lag so
far behind on releases it wasn't feasible to keep doing that.
