What do you need to do these days to run an epel-8 mock build?

It turns out that it works if you link, say, the alma+epel mock config
into ~/.config/mock/epel-8-x86_64.cfg, per Richard Shaw's question at
around the same time. I might have guessed that was the problem if it
reported an error about epel-8-x86_64.cfg rather than failing to
download RHEL rpms. (I just had alma linked to default.cfg on the RHEL8
system I use, not to epel-8.)
