Yes, you need to check that packages are installable. At least, you can run `mock -r chroot_name_here --postinstall --source . --spec lutris.spec` or `fedpkg mockbuild --postinstall` to build the package in a mock chroot and ensures that it's actually installable. > Python38-devel installs fine, but 3 subpackages keep failing, mainly > python3.8(evdev), python3.8(pygobject) and python3.8(distro). Yes, those packages are probably not available for python38. If you want to support lutris on EPEL 8, you'd have to package up the dependencies. However, I'd recommend targeting python39 instead of python38. If you're interested in doing that, I'd be happy to provide some more pointers. -- Thanks, Maxwell G (@gotmax23) Pronouns: He/Him/His
