Keep in mind that CentOS7 doesn't enable devel repos by default.

Thank you for attempting to help but, with my hats of Fedora packager (since 2004) and [former] member of several Centos teams ( among which Devel and QA ) on, and speaking strictly about CentOS 7, let me tell you that unfortunately you are wrong in both your sentences cited above.

1. The post you referenced is significant for Fedora 29 and later. CentOS 7 was loosely based on F18/F19. There is no package named i2c-tools-devel in CentOS 7. Please use 'yum provides "*/<relevant header file name.h here>"' to find out which package provides the header files under discussion.

2. Up to and including CentOS 7,  CentOS always included all the packages in a single ( well, two if you count base and updates separately ) repository. If you take a peek at http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7.9.2009/ you will notice that there is no separate "development" repository. Your confusion probably comes from the change implemented by RH in EL8, forcing CentOS to distribute the devel packages via the separate and by default disabled CRB repository .


As of your previous message cited below, it was partially wrong too


Usually development goes Fedora -> RHEL 7-> CentOS 7

Since December that changed for EL8 only:
Fedora -> CentOS Stream 8 -> RHEL 8

Leaving aside that there is no development involved between RHEL7 and CentOS 7 ( the packages pushed by RH to git.centos.org are simply rebuilt by CentOS ), the correct flow is described at https://blog.centos.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/fedora-centos-stream-rhel-high-level.v4-1536x864.png

    For EL-7 based , check in Fedora for version close to it.
