Hi everyone,
I'm wondering about what will happen next about EPEL:
I mean: will Epel follow Centos Stream and in this case not surely be compatible with RHEL 8 ?, or
will Epel continue to be fully compatible with RHEL 8 and in this case risk to break compatibility with Centos ?
Or again will there be one repo for RHEL 8 ead another one for Centos Stream ?
EPEL is built off RHEL, not CentOS, and we plan on continuing that for normal EPEL.
That will keep it compatible with RHEL, Alma, Rocky, and any other RHEL rebuild that maintains compatibility.
For CentOS Stream, we are working on epel-next, that will be built off CentOS Stream and follow that.
epel-next will not be a complete EPEL rebuild, but will layer on top of the main EPEL repos.
We are very close to having this deployed. In the next couple of weeks expect an email and documentation to be sent out about epel-next.
