Hello maintainers!
I'm glad to announce that the native s390x builders are now available in Fedora Copr production.
Seems everything works, so we also added the 'epel-8-s390x' and 'epel-9-s390x' chroots.
Note that the builders are hosted in IBM Cloud, Tokyo, so the connectivity between builder and the rest of the Copr stack (North Virginia) might be a bit slower (or behave differently). Ditto for RPM repositories that are not mirrored. Overall, this is an early attempt so please be patient and report issues: https://pagure.io/copr/copr/issues
thanks to everyone involved, it's a good news and big milestone

Happy building! Pavel

Hello all!
Red Hat subscribed builders (for EPEL 8) have been deployed to production. So any EPEL 8 build in Fedora Copr is now done against RHEL 8 + EPEL 8. As always, please report back any issues.
There's though some problem related to the s390x native builders. Please stay tuned on that part... For now, s390x stays emulated (and as I noticed later after the announcement, we haven't enabled the epel-8-s390x chroot, yet - so there's no regression at least). I hope these issues will be resolved by the end of the week.
Happy building, Pavel

Hello maintainers.
Currently, we build all EPEL variants against CentOS "base" in Fedora Copr, i.e. epel-* configs means CentOS+EPEL. By the end of January 2022 CentOS 8 mirrors will start disappearing, pushing us to change the configs to avoid build failures.
We would like to start the migration to the RHEL base as soon as possible, so we are at least a bit "ahead" the change. So we can start resolving the issues.
There doesn't seem to be a real blocker, or known issue.
We got enough subscriptions from Red Hat for Fedora Copr purposes to start building against official RHEL channels.
The Mock + configs is stuck in Bodhi for now, but it doesn't block Copr to apply for the change earlier. This is mostly about community decision that 'fedpkg mockbuild' is not aligned, yet, not that Mock is broken.
The remaining problem seemed to be the s390x architecture, as the emulation being _currently_ done wouldn't work with Red Hat subscriptions, see details in [1] discussion. But thanks to IBM sponsoring us IBM Cloud access we should be OK to deploy the s390x arch support in Fedora Copr at the same time with the EPEL change (this will go in a separate announcement).
**So the plan is to move to RHEL + EPEL next Monday, 2022-01-17.** If everything works well at least.
Side note from me... Note that EPEL 9 in Fedora Copr is still CentOS Stream 9 + EPEL 9 ATM. This will change to "RHEL 9 + EPEL 9" once RHEL 9 is generally available (subscribed content). Might seem as a complication for users, but it's actually not - it is good thing we can start working on EPEL 9 now. So I want to congratulate to EPEL community here, the fact we have stream in place allows us to bring EPEL 9 up before actually RHEL is available. That's an awesome step (jump) forward compared to previous releases!
