I started to rsync/pull epel7/8 pkgs for x86_64,aarch64,ppc64le on a
temporary place and we can start testing importing pkgs.

*but* it's where it needs probably a little bit of clarification : while
initial request was to just have access to EPEL pkgs to satisfy
Requires: and/or BuildRequires: I'm wondering about a redistribution
policy (if any) for pkgs built on fedora infra and that SIGs would be
able to just redistribute if they tag such pkg in their own tag (mostly
for -{testing,release}).

Each pkg tag for -release would go out on mirror CDN, but signed with
SIG gpg key

Is that the workflow that people wanted to see ? It's true that it would
be easy to consume, and even cherry-pick which ENVR of a pkg to have in
a repo (so not be forced to upgrade to a newer epel pkg).


I'm not sure I see a need to copy+sign+mirror EPEL packages for the SIGs.

I'd rather see people get them from EPEL directly.
