Yes, that's what everyone keeps telling me. I don't understand why.
EPEL builds against published RHEL content, not the CentOS Stream
buildroot. Having a package available in the CentOS Stream buildroot
doesn't make it accessible to EPEL builds. We can't change EPEL to
use the CentOS Stream buildroot because that will cause some EPEL
packages to not be installable on RHEL.
On a related note, EPEL 9 Next _is_ being set up to build against the
CentOS Stream 9 buildroot. This works for EPEL Next because it
explicitly targets the next minor release of RHEL (i.e. CentOS
Stream). This will allow more packages to be built, at the cost of
potentially confusing packagers when their package builds successfully
for EPEL 9 Next but not for EPEL 9. EPEL 8 Next currently builds
against published CentOS Stream 8 content. If things go well with
EPEL 9 Next using the CentOS Stream 9 buildroot, EPEL 8 Next may
switch to using the CentOS Stream 8 buildroot in the future.
