Description Davide Cavalca 2020-12-18 00:11:59 UTC
RHEL 8 ships jq, but does not ship jq-devel, which is thus not available in CentOS 8 and CentOS Stream. This is problematic as it's a fairly common build dependency for software (in my specific case, I hit it while working with R).

In accordance to https://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/CentOS8/UnshippedPackages I'd like to request jq-devel to be added back. Thanks!

jq-devel is now available in the c8s powertools repository.
