Bringing EPEL support to the ELevate project
https://almalinux.org/blog/2023-12-05-announcing-epel-support-in-elevate/
We are thrilled to announce that the first step in EPEL support is now
included in the ELevate project, enabling smooth migrations between CentOS7
and AlmaLinux 8. At present, the EPEL support does not include migrating to
non-AlmaLinux OSes, or between EL8 and EL9 derivatives! Learn more about
helping us with testing, contributing, and more
