EPEL-8 : Highway to RHEL
summary
EPEL adapts to RHEL‑8 modularity by splitting Red Hat appstream metadata into per‑module repos with a tool called grubby-splitter, adding a Koji bare mode that keeps buildroots intact, and enabling module hotfix overrides so builds can override modular content. An EPEL playground provides a rawhide‑style branch and nightly composes; building modules in EPEL works (default from Fedora builds as of 8.1) though playground stream generation and some mirror/compose syncs remain work in progress.
