fails to build with:
DEBUG util.py:444: No matching package to install: 'ocaml-dune >= 1.0'
This package is in RHEL 9 buildroot (ocaml-dune-2.8.5-5.el9.x86_64).
I read an earlier thread ("Subject: [EPEL-devel] Re: Packages disappearing from the EPEL 9 buildroot") and it seems to indicate that RHEL 9 buildroot packages aren't going to be available in EPEL 9. This seems crazy, is it really correct?
It's not crazy. EPEL is intended to build on RHEL content, which means we can't depend on something RHEL doesn't publish. If Red Hat wants to publish their buildroot repo, then sure, we could use it.
I wasn't very clear, but I was addressing my remark at Red Hat. There's really no reason why we (Red Hat) don't publish buildroot, in fact my personal view is we ought to for open source reasons.
I do not think you will find much disagreement here.. but after 3+ years of saying it and nothing changing, many of us have made our peace.
To be a bit more fair, we have not blindly added all buildroot content to RHEL. However, we have made progress on coming up with a way to request these packages be added and worked to help teams internally understand the implications of this. We continue to add content to every RHEL minor release.
That's not nothing. It's just not everything.
