EPEL7 and ARM

[Nick Howitt]

What is the current status of EPEL7 packages for ARM? As far as I can 
make out, aarch64 seems to have been frozen in 2019 when RedHad stopped 
the architecture support? I also thing there has never been official 
armhfp support but the Centos7 armhfp people provide packages 
unoficially. Is that correct?

Regards,

Nick

You're correct on both counts. When RH deprecated
7 for aarhc64, CentOS 
kept it alive, but since EPEL is built against RHEL, it had to be 
deactivated.
WRT armhfp, those are built here 
https://armv7.dev.centos.org/repodir/epel-pass-1/ and I try to keep them 
mostly up to date with real EPEL

Yes we tried to extend support by having the aarch64 to use the CentOS
repositories but koji does not like differing src.rpms names to determine
what to pull into a build root. This meant that builds for all platforms
would fail because of aarch64 package names being 'different enough'. At
this point the only way for aarch64 and armhfp for EPEL would be for the
CentOS project to compile those packages.
