There was also a mention in that ticket of just supplying an 
iptables-addons rpm to supply only the missing files required to make 
ipset work.

I have rebuilt the iptables SRPM from the Russian website then installed 
it and tried to use it with the ipset-utils/kmod-ipset RPMs from elrepo 
but they do not work together any more as the iptables RPM has been 
built against ipset 4.5.1 and not 2.5.0. I had to download the SRPM for 
ipset and ipset-kmod and rebuild those too before it would allow me to 
add an iptables rule that used an ipset.

This seems to indicate to me that unless someone has stashed a copy of 
the ipset SRPM's for 2.5.0 from the Frolov site and is willing to make 
them available for download, that the current elrepo copies are now useless.
