@haroon-github @sonotley Does the above suggestion make sense for updating the command for RHEL 9?

We can create a JIRA to check the whole list. Please let me know.

Let's just check the whole list before we publish anything. No-one is waiting on this. Please create a Jira if that's what we need. @haroon-github is off sick at the moment but it should be a quick job for him when he is back.

Okay, I think we can use this JIRA on the TPA board: https://enterprisedb.atlassian.net/browse/TPA-624. Let's wait for @haroon-github to return and review the entire list, then update it.

Why do we even need to mention separate EL versions? This was true when we were relying on the platform supplied Python and different distros had their own defaults. Now that we have standardized on Python 3.12 across platforms, perhaps it's fine if we just divide this into two categories i.e. Deb/Ubuntu and RHEL/OL/Rocky/AlmaLinux? We don't need openvpn, patch is useful if someone wanted to apply a patch or something since they are using sources. It's useful anyway for the dev environments.

Also, why did we add epel-release?
