Description
CentOS Stream 8 will reach its EOL within less than a year ahead of Rocky and Alma:
- CentOS Stream 8: 2024-05-31
- Rocky Linux 8: 2029-05-31
- AlmaLinux 8: 2029
So I suggest building RPMs for Rocky and Alma without reusing CentOS Stream RPMs.
An RPM binary for Rocky can be probably safely repurposed for Alma, and vice versa.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Docker and containerd RPM packaging pull requests linked in the issue, then inspect the packaging scripts and the install.sh entry point referenced there. Compare the current CentOS Stream RPM flow with the requested Rocky and Alma targets; done means those RPMs are built independently and install.sh is addressed.
