You could check out my RPMs on Copr:

https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jasonish/suricata-stable/

Basically I try to keep them as close to the EPEL versions as possible, 
but they may include minor improvements that I'm suggesting to get into 
the EPEL/Fedora package.  I think right now the only difference between 
my RPM and the EPEL one, other than being updated to 4.1.2 is that its 
compiled with Hyperscan.

I typically update them shortly after a Suricata release, which can be 
much sooner than EPEL, depending on how it falls in a release cycle.
