## needs investigation

- intermittent errors processing epel10 branch requests
(possibly not epel10-specific, possibly not worth investigating because of the upcoming git forge change)

## epel-release demo

You can see a demo of the releasever_major/minor variables by running a few commands inside a c10 container.

`podman run -it --rm centos:stream10-development`

cat >> /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo << EOF
[epel]
name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux \$releasever - \$basearch
gpgcheck=0
baseurl=https://carlwgeorge.fedorapeople.org/repos/epel\$releasever_major\${releasever_minor:+.\$releasever_minor}/\$basearch/
EOF
dnf --repo epel repolist
dnf --repo epel repoquery --quiet --nvr hello

Note the repo name of `Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 10 - x86_64` and the package nvr of `hello-2.12.1-4.el10_1`.

echo 10.0 > /etc/dnf/vars/releasever
dnf --repo epel repolist
dnf --repo epel repoquery --quiet --nvr hello

Note the repo name of `Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 10.0 - x86_64` and the package nvr of `hello-2.12.1-4.el10_0`.
