#10445 set up epel9 external repo correctly

Closed: Fixed 2 years ago by mohanboddu. Opened 2 years ago by tdawson.

Describe the issue
There was some miscommunication regarding the setup of the epel9 external repo. The intent was Plan C was for to use the CentOS Stream 9 AppStream, BaseOS and CRB repos. But the wording of the plan was bad and it could be interpreted in two different ways. As a result, the epel9 external repo was setup so that it is using the CentOS Stream 9 buildroot.

Please update the epel9 external repo so that it uses the CentOS Stream 9 AppStream, BaseOS and CRB repos only.

@tdawson Does it still make sense to use cs9 buildroot for epel9 next? I think we should move both epel9 and epel9 next to use the cs9 shipped content. I know the current setup was needed initial setup, but I think its time that we should point both epel9 and epel9 next to use the CS9 shipped content. WDYT?
