About packages present in epel-7 and missing from epel-8

[Francesco Montorsi]

Hi all,
I started using Centos8 and epel8 and I found out that several packages I used to have in epel7 are missing from epel8; is it just work-in-progress? eventually will all packages of epel7 be present also in epel8?

I'm in particular looking into the "supervisor" package... can I do anything to speed up adoption on centos8 (e.g. testing if it works)?

Thanks,
Francesco

Packages from EPEL 7 don't make it automatically make it into EPEL 8. The
package maintainer has to request EPEL 8 branches.

You can either request that the maintainer support an EL 8 branch via
email, <package>[e-mail], or submit the request in bugzilla
(more formal request).

Thanks,
Richard
