rubygem-asciidoctor is a generally useful package for building many projects including other packages present in RHEL CRB. Currently this package is present in the EPEL repository. However using it requires including extra repositories on the consumer's side. This bug is to discuss the feasibility of moving the package to the CRB variant and discontinuing the EPEL version in RHEL 9. Example: CI of a package used for building Java packages in RHELs and Fedoras (currently uses the Buildroot repository, could have used EPEL): https://github.com/fedora-java/jurand/blob/b9c5df76d3c59204c2683a268a6cd4f6a41ccdf1/.github/workflows/ci.yaml

(In reply to Orion Poplawski from comment #1) > This should be filed at https://issues.redhat.com/ against centos stream Yes, if it was decided what is the preferred way. This is to solicit feedback from EPEL maintainers and users, what would be their preference. IOW maintaining this package in EPEL has its advantages, such as bigger freedom for rebases, community maintenance independent from RH, etc. OTOH the package is in CS BuildRoot and it could be made more visible / accessible by moving it from BuildRoot into CRB without any additional promises from RH side. This could free some resources from EPEL maintainers for possibly more important stuff.
AH. Well, personally I would just keep it in EPEL - for the reasons you mentioned.
I don't have strong opinnions on this as long as it is available in EPEL. However from my point of view this package should be somehow available in plain RHEL and I don't understand how no one has requested it yet...
