#102 Explicitly list EPEL8/RHEL8 channel conflict policy
Closed: Fixed by orion. Opened by orion.

Reopen Issue

There does not appear to be an explicit conflict policy for EPEL8:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#Does_EPEL_replace_packages_provided_within_Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_or_layered_products.3F

It would be good to have an EPEL8 entry there.

I got a report against python3-s3transfer and python3-botocore
conflicting with the CentOS 8 HighAvailability repo. No idea if this is
an issue or not: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1821630

It looks like we have avoided conflicts with the "ha" repos in the past,
and I can enable the rhel-8-for-x86_64-highavailability-rpms repo on my
RHEL8 developer license machine so it does seem available to everyone.

It's unclear if HA is still a paid add on for RHEL8.

Some discussion was on the mailing list - https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/GWGJGHPFEILIPX4QDGC4CLNRTRT4TATY/

On both of my RHEL 8.1 machines, I am unable to see HA. I am only able to see it on my CentOS8 machines. But my RHEL8 license is a "Red Hat Employee" license, so it might not be standard.

If someone with a standard RHEL8 install could let us know if they see HA or not, that would be appreciated.

As of RHEL 8.1, HA is not available with a standard RHEL 8 subscription.
Because of that, we are unable to use it to build with EPEL. If that changes in one of the RHEL8 releases, we will react accordingly.

We have updated the FAQ, and Policy.
