(I can build things as this content is already in my Koji buildroot). And it is me, this list, and the CentOS Stream group that keep getting asked (by EPEL and the RH SIGs) why this open source stuff can not be in CentOS Linux, CentOS Stream and the CBS. Surely we can set up a non RHEL released repo that your guys can use to build the things that they want. Thanks, Johnny Hughes
