I've gotten frequent requests to support EPEL branches of packages I maintain for Fedora and I usually don't mind as long as it's "easy", meaning build dep differences are minor and easy to work around, but mock seems completely broken for EPEL and I don't like to support packages I can't easily build.
I know there's scratch builds, COPR, and stuff but I have a $DAYJOB and nothing beats being able to test and iterate quickly using mock on my workstation.
Out of curiosity I just tried every EL 8 mock config and found the following results:
almalinux-8 works
centos-8 broken (EOL)
centos-stream-8 works
epel-8-x86_64 broken
epel-next-8-x86_64 works
eurolinux-8-x86_64 works
oraclelinux-8-x86_64 works
rhel-8-x86_64 no subscription
rockylinux works
centos-8 broken (EOL)
centos-stream-8 works
epel-8-x86_64 broken
epel-next-8-x86_64 works
eurolinux-8-x86_64 works
oraclelinux-8-x86_64 works
rhel-8-x86_64 no subscription
rockylinux works
So most of them work, but not EPEL. So which SHOULD I be using for EPEL package development?
Thanks,
Richard
