RHEL 8.10 was released today. Releng usually creates snapshots of the EPEL repository on RHEL minor version release day.
Sorry for the tight timing, but there really is a tight window for this. Doing it before today would have missed valid EPEL 8 builds that work on RHEL 8.9. Doing it after today will result in EPEL 8 builds in the snapshot that were built against RHEL 8.10 libraries.
See last answer.
While it is a discouraged practice, we know there are users who manually pin to minor versions of their OS and want to consume EPEL packages that will work. When they use the main EPEL repo, they discover problem caused by the mismatch. While we could just let them manually search old koji builds for a working artifact, using an archived repo (even if unmaintained) is a much better experience. This snapshot is also useful as a historical reference of the EPEL repository over time.
So, I checked how Kevin did it last time from here: https://pagure.io/releng/issue/12088
Gonna follow the same process
login to compose-rawhide01 (this machine has archive volume rw) rsync -avH /pub/epel/8/ /srv/fedora_ftp_archive/epel/8.9-2024-05-22/ --link-dest=/srv/fedora_ftp_archive/epel/8.8.2023-11-14/ rsync -avH /pub/epel/8/ /srv/fedora_ftp_archive/epel/testing/8.9-2024-05-22/ --link-dest=/srv/fedora_ftp_archive/epel/8.8.2023-11-14/ cd /srv/fedora_ftp_archive/epel/ ln -s 8.9-2024-05-22 8.9
