RHEL entitlements for EPEL maintainers
EPEL maintainers can use the free
RHEL developer subscription
to develop and test their packages.
The mock tool includes
rhel+epel-<version>-<arch>.cfg
configuration files that
integrate with this subscription,
even on non-RHEL distributions such as Fedora.
An EPEL maintainer may alternatively use other RHEL-like distributions to develop and test their packages.
Mock includes several other <distro>+epel-<version>-<arch>.cfg
configuration files to choose from.
These distributions will have some differences from RHEL.
It is the maintainer’s responsibility to ensure that their EPEL packages work on RHEL
in spite of these differences.
