Hi Troy,

As you're now part of the CentOS Stream team, when can we expect to see
that Devel repo being populated ? that would help for now SIGs building
in cbs.centos.org (and we have also again other requests for built but
unreleased pkgs in Devel repo, so having a status update on that one
would be good too)

Well played good sir.
Unfortunately I only deal with the CentOS Stream 9 stuff, but I will bring it up in the team meeting.

I wrote this email on the centos-devel mailing list, as an EPEL package maintainer, that has a problem.  Because my EPEL work is done in my spare time, and it's a legitimate EPEL packager problem.  And I'd like the solution to be public, and not behind closed doors.
