Maybe "we" could fill this gap? Describe this state of EPEL? Did you
requested such missing packages? From the early on (EL8.0) I requested
such EPEL packages, some fedora maintainers branched there packages
into
EPEL8. Even a request for a devel package was honored and the rpm was
included by RH later in 8.1. This is a community, so communicate!
Everything else is a product in ready state that must be paid.
For what it is worth, I opened various RH bugzilla enhancement request
in the 10+ years of using CentOS. One of the last:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1902781
That said, lets face in: current CentOS is not really a community, at
least in the sense that a community can steer the project direction.
Nobody polled for Stream or asked about it. Stream simply happened due
to an unilateral Red Hat decision. *Which is PERFECTLY fine*, unless
trying to masking it behind the "community" word.
My view is that RH/CentOS would be relatively inadequate for many roles
without the outstanding work done by EPEL and the rest of the CentOS
community, unless you are an hyperscaler who can do its own internal
package additions. Red Hat failing to recognize the enormous value of
EPEL and former CentOS model really baffles me.
Regards.
