#10339 Create empty `/epel/9` structure
Closed: Get back later 2 years ago by kevin. Opened 2 years ago by alexi.

While we wait for EPEL 9 content to be released, it would be nice if the mirrors started getting the directory structure with empty repos, like we have now for /epel/next/9. Would this be possible? It's not super critical, though, more of a nice-to-have.

What do you all think here? I'm not sure it makes sense to make this so far in advance, might confuse people...

I'm thinking it will confuse people on two fronts.
1 - They will think epel9 is coming out soon.
2 - They will think RHEL9 is coming out soon.

I'm more concerned about 2.
It's very possible that RHEL marketing might reach out in a couple months and have us take it down. Not because we can't talk about RHEL9, but they are suddenly swamped with "I thought you were waiting 3 years before releasing RHEL9"

So, we decided that for now it's not a good idea to make that tree. If we do, people will start expecting epel9 to exist and rhel9 with it, and thats still not until next year.

So, we are going to not do this until we start bringing up things for it next year.

Sorry.
