EPEL mirror and extra RHEL packages from Iran — mirror.rasanegaar.com/epel/

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 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.

## Mirror in Iran

The EPEL mirror in Iran at `mirror.rasanegaar.com/epel` serves the same repo layout so yum or dnf pulls from Rasanegaar’s software repository.
The tree is live — browse the listing, check size and last update, and point your clients at it.

## Configuration

1. Back up your yum/dnf .repo files.
2. Install epel-release if needed.
3. In the EPEL .repo file, comment metalink/mirrorlist and set baseurl to:
   ```
   /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo
   ```
   ```
   http://mirror.rasanegaar.com/epel/$releasever/$basearch/
   ```
4. Refresh package metadata:
   ```
   sudo dnf makecache
   ```

## Updates

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.
