During our last round of proposals for solutions to missing devel packages, it was noted that EPEL and CentOS has very different documentation for requesting a package be put into RHEL 8.[1][2]
I am betting that CentOS's documentation is correct. It was written after ours. When I was talking to the Red Hat people who know, it was noted that Red Hat has much better communication with the Fedora and CentOS communities than the EPEL community.[3] They wanted to start fixing that communication gap, and figured this would be a good way to start. So I'm asking Josh Boyer to answer this question on behalf of Red Hat. How would Red Hat like us, EPEL maintainers and developers, to request missing devel packages? (devel packages that are built at the same time as a released library in RHEL8, but not released in RHEL8. Such as lmdb-devel) If we follow Red Hat's procedure, what are the odds that the package will make it into RHEL 8 CRB? Thanks Troy Dawson [1] - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#RHEL_8.2B_has_binaries_in_the_release.2C_but_is_missing_some_corresponding_-devel_package._How_do_I_build_a_package_that_needs_that_missing_-devel_package.3F [2] - https://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/CentOS8/UnshippedPackages [3] - Yes, I write my emails here from my redhat email address, but I do not represent Red Hat in my EPEL capacities.
