On the one hand, thank you for pointing out that this build is now
available. That's good to know.
On the other hand, this points at the bigger issue that dealing with
the entire problem of missing packages requires a level of scripting
and bookkeeping that is very difficult to keep up when building
layered projects.
You could request libev-devel in the composes.
The reason I did not do that in this case is that pytest-cov is an
optional dependency, and we can just remove it from the Python
packages instead. I'd rather reduce the dependencies on gevent to make
everything faster.
When I looked at gevent in EPEL 8 a month or so ago, it did not look
like many packages depended on it.
I remain confused why
it has to be in the compose though, because libev and it's devel
package are accessible in the CentOS Stream 9 buildroots today.
We could point at
https://kojihub.stream.centos.org/kojifiles/repos/c9s-build/latest/ ,
but that location will not have GPG-signed builds, and the repo is not
currently in
