JFI:

Downloads from koji instance allowed now.
https://koji.mbox.centos.org/pkgs/packages/
<https://koji.mbox.centos.org/pkgs/packages/>

True, but that doesn't get them into the EPEL or COPR build environment.

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)
