Hi,
please correct me if I am wrong or if this isn't the right list.
One of my packages needs autoconf-archive.noarch for building on CentOS 7 but the build fails because autoconf-archive is not available in EPEL 7 anymore.
yum search autoconf-archive
reveals nothing. Have I missed something?

As you can see here https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/autoconf-archive/commits/epel7 autoconf-archive removed from EPEL7 because it must be included in main CentOS repos.

Thanks for the pointer.
Unfortunately this new RHEL package is not yet in current Vagrant images (1707.01) nor available in copr making builds that depend on those Autoconf macros fail.

This is one of those unfortunate things that happens when using CentOS; major releases trail RHEL and sometimes when things make the shift from EPEL to RHEL proper, CentOS users end up without some packages available for a while. We're dealing with the same issue with the `http-parser` package, which not only got moved from EPEL to RHEL, but also downgraded the NVR in the process (so we can't just leave the EPEL package in the repo until CentOS catches up).

First time this has bitten me. To be honest, this is actually pretty bad. (Understandable though.)
Luckily, 7.4.1708 is expected somewhere between Aug 22 and Sept 12 according to [1].
