I forgot one step. You can change the list of packages it checks by editing package.list So, the full list of instructions is

git clone https://github.com/tdawson/tdawson-misc-scripts.git cd tdawson-misc-scripts/will-it-install vi package.list python3 will-it-install.py x86_64 centos

This script will work on RHEL/CentOS 8 and any of the currently supported Fedora releases. I do not expect it to work on RHEL7

Hi, As discussed in the EPEL Steering Committee meeting, I made a python script, will-it-install.py out of a different script I had just made.[1] It looks like it's working pretty good for both rawhide and centos 8 (with EPEL8). To run, Download the whole directory structure [2], edit package.list and then

python3 will-it-install.py x86_64 centos

You can do any of the 4 RHEL arches.

Feedback is appreciated.
