I'm not aware of a RHEL clone that offers all the architectures that
EPEL does. As far as I can tell, the three most popular (Alma, Rocky,
Oracle) only offer x86_64 and aarch64 but are missing ppc64le and
s390x. That said CentOS Linux 8 doesn't offer s390x either, so we
already have this problem, but switch the EPEL mock chroot to one of
those clones would make the situation worse by also dropping ppc64le.
I've been informed that AlmaLinux is working on ppc64le support, and
it's supposed to be released "soon". Perhaps Jack can provide an
update here?
