#84 RHEL 8 missing corosynclib-devel, needed for my EPEL 8 package
Closed: Unable to Fix 2 years ago by carlwgeorge. Opened 4 years ago by jsmith.

RHEL/CentOS 8 seem to have some of the corosync packages in the "AppStream" repo, but corosynclib-devel is missing, and it's a dependency for some of my packages that I'd like to get into EPEL 8.


We now have a formal policy to allow EPEL8 to build with these missing packages.

You need to open a CentOS issue[1] that states what devel package is missing and packages it is affecting. File the bug against the CentOS-8 Project, with the Category of _unreleased_devel_packages.

If you are unable to open a CentOS issue, please let me know, and I will open one for you.
If that is the case, please let me know specifically what package are missing, and what packages cannot be built because of it.

Revisiting this old issue, the process has changed slightly but has been stable for a while now and been used successfully to add many -devel packages to RHEL8 CRB. See this FAQ item for instructions on how to request an unshipped package be shipped in RHEL CRB.
