Hi, new version of cherokee was release 1,5 years ago: https://github.com/cherokee/webserver/releases It is not advertised on the project's webpage but it's there. Also, github repository contains some important security patches (like tightening up the ciphers list) – maybe worth cherrypicking?
Try my own repo: http://ftp-hk.tmapy.cz/tmapy-twist/fedora/22/os/x86_64/RPMS/ I don't have time to create proper packages for all fedora/epel versions now I hope I will do it later
