Summary0018277: Missing packages
DescriptionInstalling libgit2 can be installed fine, but there is no libgit2-devel package available.

Attempting to rebuild from libgit2 source package brings to light that a dependency, http-parser, can be installed fine but there is no http-parser-devel as needed by the rebuild of libgit2 srpm

[root@centos8-rpi4 build]# rpmbuild --rebuild libgit2-0.26.8-2.el8.src.rpm
Installing libgit2-0.26.8-2.el8.src.rpm
error: Failed build dependencies:
    http-parser-devel is needed by libgit2-0.26.8-2.el8.aarch64

You want to rebuild http-parser to solve that? It depends on meson which cannot be installed either.
Steps To Reproduce1) Try to install libgit2 ... works

# dnf install libgit2

This is still broken.

Building the source packages does produce the -devel package. So there doesn't seem to be anything anyone can fix except CentOS itself.

Thanks for the hint, the missing devel pieces are in "PowerTools" repo. I hope this can also help other mystified devs.
