EPEL Mirror (yum/dnf packages) in Iran
EPEL mirror (yum/dnf packages) — For EPEL updates in Iran, Rasanegaar Mirror keeps Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux close to your hosts — this repo is live on the mirror.
About EPEL
EPEL is Fedora’s Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux — networking tools, runtimes, and high-demand packages for RHEL, Alma, and Rocky. Nearly every serious enterprise host enables at least one EPEL repo.
Without a nearby mirror, heavy installs depend on Fedora hosts abroad; every dnf install moves real traffic.

Updating EPEL in Iran
EPEL updates in Iran against the local mirror usually finish faster than Fedora mirrors — especially on server farms with concurrent installs.
After switching, keep your normal yum/dnf routine; only the package origin changed.
