Describe the issue

At the 2021-11-24 EPEL Steering Committee meeting, we decided to implement plan C for the epel9 rollout. This means we will announce epel9 and epel9-next at the same time, using the c9s buildroot as an external repo for both. epel9-next is already all set up and ready to go. All we have to do is finish setting up epel9. Most of the tag structure is already set up. I believe the only remaining koji changes are:

  • modify the epel9-base tag to use the c9s-buildroot external repo (matching epel9-next-base)
  • create epel9 build target

When do you need this? (YYYY/MM/DD)

2021-12-03

When is this no longer needed or useful? (YYYY/MM/DD)

2032 (RHEL9 EOL)

If we cannot complete your request, what is the impact?

Prevents launching epel9 at the same time as epel9-next.

$ koji edit-external-repo rhel9-base --url 'https://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/repo/centos/centos-9-stream/$arch/' -m bare -t epel9-base
$ koji add-target epel9 epel9-build epel9-testing-candidate
$ koji add-target epel9-candidate epel9-build epel9-testing-candidate

I could add c9s-buildroot as external buildroot for epel9-base as its being used by epel9-next-base, so I left it rhel9-base, if needed I can change it to something else.

One last thing related thing I forgot to mention, can you also tag fedpkg-minimal-1.2.0-4.el9.next to epel9-override?

Mohan took care of the tag in IRC, and I was able to complete a scratch build. Thanks!
