Right, PostGIS needs PowerTools on RHEL 8.

EDB recently did similar work here:
https://repos.enterprisedb.com/
Dave, any chance we can do something like this for the community repo
as well?
It's certainly possible, but it's not a trivial amount of work (and the edb-repos code couldn't really be reused in the community site, even if I got permission to do so). Also bear in mind that repos.enterprisedb.com was written to support products like PEM which have additional post-installation setup requirements, which is probably not the case for most things on yum.postgresql.org.
My suggestion would be to add the EPEL/PowerTools repos as optional steps in what we have now, with a note in the instructions explaining when they might be needed.
