Hi,
No, you are not missing anything. -devel packages are missing. Not sure
the reasoning, but the slogan "Conquer Complexity" is right, it has
been and is far more now for developers who they claim to have released
an OS that allows you to just develop. What also confuses me with all
the slogans is that Python is popular with developers, but we do not
get the linter in the repos. ;-)
I am referring a lot to the page below to see what is available and
building other packages in a lower priority ('cost' greater than
default 1000) repo so I can use the devel packages, but pick up the
distro libs and runtimes from RHEL 8 repos when installs are done. I
call it my vendor missing repo. :-D
