Hello,
I was looking to build a package on epel7 that is relying on jansson-devel.
The -devel subpackage is generated as normally from the main jansson package, but in case of epel7 the resulting rpm is included in the Workstation-optional channel:
http://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/rhel/rc/7/Workstation-optional/x86_64/os/Packag...
Have these packages being left out intentionally or not? Is there any chance to see these packages added in Koji? Otherwise building for epel7 can get really complicated.
Thanks & regards, --Simone

EPEL builds against the Server + Server-optional variant of RHEL - http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taginfo?tagID=258

Is this the final "setup" of EPEL for RHEL 7 that will be available for all the time the distribution is supported by Redhat?
Thanks, --Simone

It is quite strange actually. Normally, if a package is not included in the base distribution, we can add it. If it is already included we never replace the upstream package.
By using only server and server-optional we have the weird case where only half of the package can be used. Jansson specific, I cannot add jansson to epel because it is already included, but I cannot use it because the jansson-devel is omitted and only half of the resulting binary rpms are used.
I hope this gets reviewed in the future.

You can propose to do something like this: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL:Packaging#Limited_Arch_Packages

I'd suggest filing a bug in bugzilla first, explaining the pain this causes downstream addon repositories like EPEL. For all we know the -devel subpackage is only missing in Server due to some oversight.

Opened this one, hope it's correct:

Well actually I meant to ask RHEL release engineering to add jansson-devel to the Server repository along with the main jansson package. It seems kind of silly to have the main package in Server and the -devel package in Workstation.
You can file a bug with RHEL rel-eng here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Red%20Hat%20Enterprise%20L...
Of course, supporting Workstation in general would be very nice, so your other ticket is warranted, but I think getting this particular problem fixed on the RHEL side would still be a good idea regardless of the outcome of that.

Bug filed with an edited text from the releng one.

Apparently Redhat does not like this, the bug was quickly closed:

I'm not sure what the real problem is, there is http://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/rhel/rc/7/Server/x86_64/os/Packages/jansson-2.4... and http://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/rhel/rc/7/Server-optional/x86_64/os/Packages/ja... so there should not be any problem with a package in EPEL-7 depending on jansson as EPEL uses both Server and Server-optional channels for the buildroots. Do you have a link for the failed build?
