EPEL 10 launched a little over five months ago. Today, RHEL 10 was released. In that time EPEL 10 has grown to 17,756 packages (from 5,451 source packages) built by 249 different Fedora packagers. 📦🎉🤩
On behalf of the EPEL Steering Committee, I’m happy to announce the availability of EPEL 10. https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/epel-10-is-now-available/ #EPEL #CentOS #RHEL
Congrats; also for making things so important that RH now hand-picks stuff from there to ship it directly.
/me meanwhile still remembers sitting in a meeting room in Bosten with some RH managers that were a bit worried about this EPEL stuff we were starting…
'"Starting now, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) extensions repository addresses the evolving needs of RHEL users by providing a trusted and reliable source of validated software content. […] Initially, we've hand-picked popular content from Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (#EPEL), and we'll be evaluating additional sources of content in the future. "'

The RHEL extensions repository is a collection of software, curated by Red Hat, that includes developer tools, open source libraries, and niche utilities. Its primary goal is to deliver high-value, fast-moving software through Red Hat's secure supply chain.
