Hello,

Since EPEL 8 is for RHEL 8 and EPEL Next 8 is for CentOS Stream 8, I assumed we
will continue to use CentOS Linux 8 for local mock (and Copr) builds of EPEL 8
packages. The same for EPEL 9.
However, since CentOS Linux 8 (and 9!) will be no more, do we have some ideas
how to handle this? Do we require all EPEL contributors to obtain the developer
RHEL subscription (seems like a huge pain)? Do we switch to Oracle Linux (only
half joking)? Do we try to fight this decision (however I am afraid I've
exhausted my fight capacity on different decisions)?
Not looking for specific answers yet, this is more a discussion kick off.
What are the current clones of RHEL that people know about?
I know of Springdale Linux and Oracle Linux. I've seen a couple
others but I didn't keep track.
Does anyone know of a group that is going to start their own RHEL Clone?
