Summary0000186: centos-release-openstack-train repos are broken
DescriptionI was using the centos-release-openstack-train repos for the installation of, among others, etcd.

Some days after CentOS 8 went EOL the Cloud SIG repo seems to have gone offline (or moved elsewhere) as well. As a result, the repos installed with the centos-release-openstack-train package are broken now.
Steps To ReproduceUsing a fresh install of Almalinux 8.5 (Vagrant box "almalinux/8"):

[root@localhost ~]# dnf install centos-release-openstack-train

AlmaLinux 8 - AppStream 2.0 MB/s | 9.1 MB 00:04

CentOS-8 - RabbitMQ 38 83 B/s | 38 B 00:00
Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'centos-rabbitmq-38': Cannot prepare internal mirrorlist: No URLs in mirrorlist
Additional InformationLooking at http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8/, the "cloud" and "messaging" directories have gone, which explains the problem.

Unfortunately I could not figure out yet where they have moved, so it's not trivial to fix. Anyway, the -release RPMs should be updated to reflect that change.

The issue has obviously been caused by the SIG repositories moving over to the CentOS Stream mirrors, at least some of them.

As for the repositories I require (mainly Centos-OpenStack), the following workaround seems to do the trick:

<code>
[root@localhost ~]# sed -i 's/\$releasever/8-stream/g' /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Ceph-Nautilus.repo
[root@localhost ~]# sed -i 's/\$releasever/8-stream/g' /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-OpenStack-victoria.repo
[root@localhost ~]# sed -i 's/\$releasever/8-stream/g' /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Messaging-rabbitmq.repo
[root@localhost ~]# sed -i 's/\$releasever/8-stream/g' /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-NFV-OpenvSwitch.repo
[root@localhost ~]# yum makecache

CentOS-8-stream - NFV OpenvSwitch 377 kB/s | 111 kB 00:00

AlmaLinux 8 - Extras 1.7 kB/s | 3.9 kB 00:02
Metadata cache created.

Disclaimer: If the SIGs actually build against Centos Stream, there might be incompatibilities with plain AlmaLinux 8/Rocky Linux 8. This is something that might need to be resolved on a different level.
