ROCKY_SUPPORT_PRODUCT_VERSION=“8.7”
I wish to install PuTTY on this machine. However DNF does not find a package for it:
$ dnf search putty

No matches found.
When I visit the EPEL website (https://rhel.pkgs.org/8/epel-x86_64/) there is no entry for it although pkgs.org says that this is the authoritative repository.
Where is it?

Hi,
It does work:
[root@rocky8 ~]# dnf search putty

================================= Name Exactly Matched: putty =================================
putty.x86_64 : SSH, Telnet and Rlogin client
I guess you need to do this:
dnf install epel-release
dnf config-manager --enable powertools
some epel packages require powertools, so need to enable that.
