The package maintainer is unable to make that branch, and as chair of the EPEL Steering Commitee I was tasked with creating it.
Please create epel8 and epel8-playground branches for libssh2 Please also create epel8 and epel8-playground modules for libssh2
This is an exception to the normal EPEL rule. It's possible you might need to use --force to create the branch.
When do you need this? (YYYY/MM/DD) 2020/03/31
When is this no longer needed or useful? (YYYY/MM/DD) N/A
If we cannot complete your request, what is the impact? EPEL8 packagers and users will not be able to build with libssh2 libraries.
This is fixed now.
