So, I've decided to try this with utf8proc. I've requested the utf8proc-epel package and now requested an epel8 branch (and will retire the rawhide branch).
These are the changes I have made, does this seem correct? Notes on changes:
* We are not shipping binaries, so need to disable the debug package
* Need to change Name and %{name}
* Need to explicitly name the devel package
* Need to use relative Requires for the main package. Both to allow
RHEL to update and (in this case) to deal with module release tags
* Remove the files installed for the main package * Remove %files and %post* for the main package * Add %changelog entry --- SPECS/utf8proc.spec 2021-09-22 21:24:59.304665646 -0600+++ /export/home/orion/fedora/utf8proc-epel/utf8proc-epel.spec 2021-09-22 21:32:01.568719918 -0600
