So, we're not quite ready for this yet in EPEL, but allowing multiple
versions of packages to be maintained within the same, official repository
is what the Modularity feature in Fedora and now RHEL 8 is for. Would you be
interested in maintaining the versions you need as part of that?
In the meantime, let me direct you to Copr, our system for building and
offering package repositories with a very low barrier to entry. Check it out
at https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/. This would be a great place to start,
and then once we have modular EPEL up and running you could migrate packages
to that.
