Dominik,
Thank you.
The first application-facing library that I ran into being missing from EPEL-8 is GDAL, which has been present in the Fedora repos for many years. It appears that the issue is more to do with available dependency packages than the library build itself. Specifically
Doxygen is still absent form EPEL-8, though it appears that there is a Doxygen build for RHEL-8 or at least bugs being written against it <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?component=doxygen&list_id=10535640&product=Red%20Hat%20Enterprise%20Linux%208>.

Best way would be to open a bug against the package you'd like to see the EPEL8 branch for and offer to maintain the branch or contact the maintainer(s) directly (via package_name-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx alias). Finally, there's the SciTech SIG, which is barely active but has its own mailing list and an IRC channel, too: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:SciTech_SIG?rd=SciTech_special_interest_group Regards, Dominik -- Fedora https://getfedora.org | RPM Fusion http://rpmfusion.org There should be a science of discontent.
