There were a handful of issues affecting CentOS 8 and stream-8, both in

the actual installer as well as our test harness:


    

  • The crb repo used by newer centos releases is called powertools in
    
  8 and stream-8.
    • 

  • There's no epel-next-release repo.
    • 

  • For the install tests, we need to update yum to point at
    
  vault.centos.org because they've removed these from the primary
    
  mirror.
    • 


 








  


 
 

  
    

  • Ran unit tests.
    • 

  • Ran install tests for centos8/stream-8.
    •
