Description of problem: I needed the cups-pdf for a CentOS 8 installation. I couldn't find it but I installed the CentOS 7 version which I manually downloaded from: https://centos.pkgs.org/7/epel-x86_64/cups-pdf-2.6.1-7.el7.x86_64.rpm.html and it worked as expected. So I believe the version could be promoted to CentOS 8. How reproducible: yum install cups-pdf on a CentOS with epel enabled.
I also needs a build of cups-pdf. Any chance it will be made for RHEL 8/CentOS 8 soon?
Yes. Please build this for EPEL. I believe it should be mostly a formality as it appears as though the spec file is written (and maintained) for both Fedora and RHEL. I was able to download the source package, https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/cups-pdf/3.0.1/11.fc34/src/cups-pdf-3.0.1-11.fc34.src.rpm, from https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1675748 Using RHEL 8 I installed the rpm and changed to the resulting rpmbuild directory. I was then able to build cups-pdf-3.0.1-11.el8.x86_64.rpm with the command: rpmbuild -bb SPECS/cups-pdf.spec
