Describe your bug
Due to some internal legacy, I need to install NodeJs 9 (9.11.2) on EL8.

Trying to access the repodata on https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_9.x/el/8/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml fails with HTTP 404.

Distribution Information:

• OS: RHEL
• Version: 8

Node Version:

• Node: Node.js v9.11.2

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. yum install https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_9.x/el/8/x86_64/nodesource-release-el8-1.noarch.rpm
2. yum --disablerepo="*" --enablerepo=nodesource install nodejs

Expected behavior
NodeJS version 9.11.2 installs

Errors during downloading metadata for repository 'nodesource':
  - Status code: 404 for https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_9.x/el/8/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml (IP: 172.67.10.205)
Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'nodesource': Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors were tried

Additional context
Seems that repomd.xml in missing in the 8 x86_64 folder. the file exists in the 7 folder, but not in the 8 folder.
I tried also to get to the RPM I need specifically, but failed. :(

Hi @GElkayam I'm sorry I'm a bit interested to know why you need such old nodejs version?
I'm so sorry the package was not sync, I've just synced and is available.
