Description of problem: Hi vcftools maintainers. Thank you for maintaining vcftools. Could you build vcftools to EPEL8? I can see that there is already the EPEL7 build. Just in case, I would share how to build on EPEL8. Request the dist-git branch. ``` $ fedpkg request-branch --repo vcftools epel8 ``` Then you will get 2 new branches unlike epel7. * epel8 * epel8-playground The epel8-playground branch is to build for the epel8-playground target like an EPEL version of Fedora rawhide. The change is immediately updated without using Bodhi. The epel8 branch is to build for both epel8-playground and epel8 target, or only epel8 target. The epel8 branch has package.cfg file to manage it. My best practice is to ignore epel8-playground branch, then only use epel8 branch, keeping package.cfg.

I am requesting the EPEL8 branches. ``` $ fedpkg request-branch --repo vcftools epel8 https://pagure.io/releng/fedora-scm-requests/issue/25644 https://pagure.io/releng/fedora-scm-requests/issue/25645 ```

> great, let me know when the branches are OK I can go ahead and build for EL8. Now the epel8 branches were created. Please go a head and build for EL8. Thanks for your work.
