Description of problem: iperf is currently not available in EPEL 8 repository. iperf is very useful tool to diagnose network performance issues between hosts.
I tried (on my Fedora 32 machine) to run: mock -r rhlepel-8-x86_64 iperf-2.0.13-4.fc32.src.rpm to see if the package would even build properly, before requesting a branch or anything fancy like that. What I got was: ERROR: /etc/pki/entitlment is not a directory, is subscription-manager installed? I don't think I'll personally be able to help in this instance, so anyone with a valid rhel subscription wanting to be a co-maintainer should feel welcome to jump in...

Will you be able to branch and build iperf in epel8? The EPEL Packagers SIG would be happy to be a co-maintainer if you do not wish to build it on epel8.
(In reply to Davide Cavalca from comment #3) > Will you be able to branch and build iperf in epel8? > The EPEL Packagers SIG would be happy to be a co-maintainer > if you do not wish to build it on epel8. I like to build locally to ensure things work, rather than have to bump revisions several times when koji builds fail. Since I can't build locally for epel8 (see comment #1 above), I'm perfectly OK with adding co-maintainer(s) who are equipped to do so. Let me know who to add to the iperf membership list at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/iperf.
Actually, I just noticed, Steven Roberts (cc-ed) is the "main admin", so let's give him a chance to chime in before we do anything :) Steven, any thoughts?
Sure thing. You should be able to do local builds for EPEL 8 using the almalinux-8-x86_64 chroot (as you've noticed, the rhepel one requires a valid subscription to work). If you want to add the EPEL Packagers SIG as a co-maintainer add the epel-packagers-sig group through https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/<package>/addgroup and grant it commit access, or collaborator access on epel* branches. Thanks!
Wasn't aware of the `almalinux-*` chroot, and that it "fits" epel -- thanks for that! Seems to build the current iperf srpm without problems. https://pagure.io/releng/fedora-scm-requests/issue/41785 https://pagure.io/releng/fedora-scm-requests/issue/41786 Once those go through, I'll request builds, and see how it goes from there.
