I fear it's just bad timing + the external rhel8 repo we have only keeps
the newest packages (epel7 repos keep the old packages around too).
koji has no way to know that an external repo updated and needs
regeneration, so it just regenerates it when the buildroots that depend
on it change, ie, for epel8 that means when a stable updates push goes
out. Since updates pushes have been broken, no regen has happened
recently. ;( For epel7, it's fine just using the older package, but in
epel8 it's gone and you see the 404 for it.
Updates pushes should be going again so that should help.
After that I guess we could try and just do a regen every day no matter
what? Or add something to the script that updates the repo to fire one
after anything updates?

I don't know if it would be useful or not here, but you might want to check
out my gojira tool as part of https://github.com/jflorian/koji-helpers.
Cool. Do you know if upstream koji would be open to just merging this?
It would likely be handy for a lot of places that use external repos.

I've not approached them but have been wanting to do so. I needed it
for $DAYJOB (and wanted it for $NIGHTHOBBY) and it's proved itself
worthwhile. The hardest part for me was determining that indeed
something like this is needed and that no, koji doesn't do that yet.
IIRC, I've seen that they've had discussions for something like this. I
had wanted to clean it up to use native calls rather than shelling to
the koji cli, but was waiting until koji was on python 3 since I had
never had any interest in taking this backwards to py2. Then a divorce
fell in my lap last year and I'm still sorting out that mess so,
unfortunately, I don't have the time to shepherd this thru right now or
in the immediate future that I can foresee. If someone wishes to do
that, I'd be more than happy to advise and answer any questions.
My timeline is also crunched while I try to figure out how to configure
koji to build against EL8 and seem to be running into many problems that
Fedora has faced with EPEL8 and Modularity, which may also affect all of
this. Somehow I got myself onto too many treadmills at once! :-)
