latest bird2-2.14-1.e7 is available for Rocky 7 from EPEL, but no 8 or 9 builds.
Upstream BIRD packaging is tested on Rocky 8 and AlmaLinux 9 which are both RHEL clones so it should be easy to build.
I've CC'd Fedora package maintainer in hopes he might do the builds. Note that upstream RPM packaging is maintained in distro/pkg/rpm, feel free to sync with Fedora dist-git as needed.
I am the package maintainer of BIRD in Fedora and EPEL. I think you made the mistake to look specifically for "bird2" as package name. However, EPEL 8 and 9 never shipped BIRD 1.x, only 2.x. Thus the "bird" package is 2.x: --- 8< --- $ dnf info bird Last metadata expiration check: 0:33:58 ago on Fri Mar 8 14:06:44 2024.

Whether BIRD 3.x will lead to a "bird3" for EPEL 8 and 9 depends on what e.g. Maria is doing (or not doing) in the code ;-) By the way: There is no Rocky Linux 7, there is just CentOS (Linux) 7, and there are Rocky Linux and AlmaLinux 8 and 9. And the latter two projects stepped up when Red Hat unilaterally terminated the CentOS development in favor of CentOS Stream in December 2020. Please note that BIRD 2 is in EPEL 8 since 2019-07-23 and in EPEL 9 since 2021-12-03, which even predates the RHEL 9 final release by about half a year. Thus no need to use foreign buildsystems or local builds for RHEL 8 and 9 (or clones/derivatives) ;-) Kind regards Robert Scheck
