The epelX-repos packages contain repositories for Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL).
The repositories are disabled by default and can be used e.g. with repoquery
:
$ repoquery --repo=epel8 --whatrequires 'python(abi) = 3.6'
Or to download packages with dnf
:
$ dnf --repo=epel7 download python36-rpm
Note that the "base" RHEL/CentOS repos are not included.
