Getting packages into EPEL-8

Dear EPEL developers,

I would like to request a handful of packages for EPEL-8.

Name of the packages and short description and a reason why the package is 
needed.

Ansible:
Ansible is required for software provisioning and configuration management. 
It's already available in EPEL-7 and it's actively used so I guess it make 
sense to push an .el8 package.

Fail2Ban:
Fail2Ban is an Intrusion Prevention Software which protects systems from 
brute-force attacks. It's already available in EPEL-7 and it's actively 
used so I guess it make sense to push an .el8 package.

Nagios Plugins:
There is already a Nagios Package in EPEL-8 but without having the Nagios 
Plugins it's almost worthless to run Nagios.

Neovim:
Neovim is a fork of vim which has a lot of cool features. It's already 
available in EPEL-7 so I guess it make sense to push an .el8 package.

Tig:
Tig is a Text Mode Interface for git which makes it super easy to track 
changes. It's already available in EPEL-7 so I guess it make sense to push 
an .el8 package

Thank you very much in advance.

Cheers,
Willi

This is being looked at. It may need to wait until RHEL-8.1 or .2 is
released due to missing -devel packages it needs and thus may need to
be a module. [Those items may not be needed so that is why I am saying
it is being looked at.]

Agreed. I got the first 2 in as testing of builds but ran into
problems getting plugins compiled and ran out of time. It should be
there soon.

This is on my incredibly long list of things to do.  Any help is 
appreciated...

Hi Orion,

thank you so much! I'll test the packages.

No matching package to install: '/usr/sbin/fping'
No matching package to install: 'freeradius-client-devel'
No matching package to install: 'libdbi-devel'
No matching package to install: 'ntp'
No matching package to install: 'perl(Net::SNMP)'
No matching package to install: 'qstat'

Basically I need to look at getting some backfilled packages to get
nagios-plugins in.
