I split my time between the latest Fedora and the latest CentOS these
days, and it would make dogfooding packaging changes for CentOS/EPEL
much easier if all the packager utilities are available. Right now,
fedpkg is, but fedora-review is not.

Tracking my effort here: https://pagure.io/epel/issue/108

Apart from the usual package-not-available story (which I want to fix
as part of my work bringing up the EPEL Packagers SIG), my current snag
is that python-tox-current-env uses %generate_buildrequires which does
not work on CentOS 8:

ERROR: Source RPM is not installable:                                 
error: Missing rpmlib features for python-tox-current-env-0.0.5-
1.el8.noarch:                                                         
error:  rpmlib(DynamicBuildRequires) <= 4.15.0-1 

CentOS 8 is still on RPM 4.14:
<mock-chroot> sh-4.4# rpm -q rpm
rpm-4.14.2-37.el8.x86_64

I'll put up a patch to hardcode dependencies for non-Fedora releases,
though that sorts of defeat the purpose of dynamic build requirements.
Then again, this is only needed for EPEL8, since EPEL9 will have a new
enough RPM.

Thanks,
