@copilot This is only correct for RHEL, powertools is required for centos-stream, almalinux and rocky.

You're absolutely right! I've updated the code to handle all RHEL 8 variants correctly. The new implementation uses case node['platform'] to detect the specific platform:

  • RHEL: codeready-builder-for-rhel-8
  • Oracle Linux: ol8_codeready_builder
  • CentOS Stream, AlmaLinux, Rocky: powertools (restored for these platforms)

This preserves the original powertools repository for CentOS Stream, AlmaLinux, and Rocky Linux while fixing the issue for actual RHEL systems. Commit: 1adde8a

else
# CentOS Stream, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux use powertools
options('--enablerepo=powertools')
end
