This is related to the work that took place in epel#324. Originally our plan for EPEL 10 was to have the following repo names in mirrormanager:

  • epel-10 for CentOS
  • epel-10.0, epel-10.1, etc. for RHEL

Because of the upgrade issue described in that issue, we pivoted to these repo names:

  • epel-10 for CentOS
  • epel-z-10 for RHEL

epel-release-10-5.el10_0 uses these repo names, so once you update to that you should have working repos. If you previously edited the repo files you may need to also merge in the relevant .rpmnew files. Since RHEL 10 hasn't launched yet, we didn't set up redirects for the old epel-10.0. I'm not necessarily against it, but you'll need to upgrade epel-release eventually, because even if we put epel-10.0 redirects in place we won't keep doing it for future minor versions.

I went ahead and added the following repo redirects:

  • epel-10.0 → epel-z-10.0
  • epel-debug-10.0 → epel-z-debug-10.0
  • epel-source-10.0 → epel-z-source-10.0
  • testing-epel10.0 → epel-z-testing-10.0
  • testing-debug-epel10.0 → epel-z-testing-debug-10.0
  • testing-source-epel10.0 → epel-z-testing-source-10.0

That should assist any RHEL systems that still have the old epel-release installed to upgrade to the new one.
