Hi Jiri,

I wonder what are the steps to make libbpf available for CentOS {7|8} as well?
One (likely the quickest) way to do that is to publish it to Fedora's EPEL [1].

I have a little concern about dependencies, namely elfutils-libelf-devel and 
elfutils-devel are sourced directly by CentOS repos, e.g. [2], not sure if 
dependencies from another repo are fine.

Thoughts? Thanks!
