https://peertube.linuxrocks.online/videos/watch/05b49279-e59c-4105-9038-94a8589af84c EPEL is one of those repos a lot of us turned on without thinking twice. This episode, Noah and I sit down with Carl George, who leads the EPEL team at Red Hat, to explain what EPEL actually is, the golden rule that gives it its reputation, and the changes Carl is proposing for EPEL 11. If you run enterprise Linux, or you have ever typed dnf install epel-release, this one is for you. Carl is collecting feedback on the EPEL 11 idea right now, so give it a listen and jump into the thread.
