Hello maintainers, just heads-up (on breakage today, I hope).
To bring several config fixes (especially for the broken centos-stream chroots), the mock-core-configs was updated today.
This though also gave us an opportunity to add EPEL 9 configs. Feel free to experiment with them. Note though Enterprise Linux 9 is not yet available - so the EPEL 9 chroots are currently built against CentOS Stream 9 + EPEL 9 (similarly to what is done officially in Koji ATM).
This update also means that 'epel-8' configs disappeared from the package [1]. To avoid build failures - for now - we provide a compat symlink from 'epel-8' config to 'centos+epel-8' in Copr. This basically means EPEL 8 configs haven't been changed at all, for now. Some time early in 2022 we will try to re-configure EPEL 8 chroots against RHEL 8 (subscribed content) + EPEL 8. That's because CentOS 8 goes EOL, [2].

I forgot to point out ... Only 'epel-9-x86_64' and 'epel-9-aarch64' is enabled for now. The reason for this is
- we can not emulate appropriately new Z/Power architectures on our Fedora 34 builders, QEMU on Fedora 35 is needed (migration to F35 is expected early in 2022)
- we don't have Z and Power 9 builders, it is WIP (should be available early in 2022 too)
But still, we believe that those two chroots give you some place for experiments/pre-release development,
Happy building, Pavel
