This is a Frequently Asked Question...

Why isn't a package in EPEL-X when it is in EPEL-Y.

Packages are not automatically branched for each EPEL version. They must be
sponsored by a packager for particular channels, and packagers may or may
not be interested in EPEL-X while they were interested in EPEL-Y. In most
cases it is best to have users ask if the owner of the package as that
tells the packager there are actually users for it versus guessing.
