Session
Many, if not most, deployments of CentOS Stream and its downstreams (RHEL and derivatives) require packages from the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repositories, which requires bootstrapping for every major EL release. This is a follow-up to previous CentOS Connect talks, discussing how I am using poi-tracker to track packages, export them to ELN Extras workloads, and then use ebranch to branch and build these packages and their dependencies in EPEL 10. I plan to release the first stable versions of poi-tracker and ebranch at Connect, after stress-testing ebranch across two EL releases (9 and 10).
