EPEL 8 has several issues regarding packages without corresponding -devel. E.g., libXvMC, libbluray.
AIUI, certain -devel packages land in the CodeReady repo. But these two in particular are not actually in the CodeReady repo.
It appears it was not an oversight. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1713421. (Some comments are private.)
And FWIW, you can always get the src RPMs and build them yourself to get the -devel packages. Generally I'd agree that you should not have to do this, but based on the private comments in that BZ I'd guess that that may be your only option at this time.
That whole bug report is private. I can't read it, nor do I imagine anyone else can.
I hope that CentOS 8 won't follow RHEL 8 in this manner, and we'll have all the -devel subpackages available and integrated into the repos or something. Otherwise, it's going to be extremely painful to build on top without rebuilding things to get access to components that were already built...
I can't read that bug report, and I have a personal Red Hat account with my RHEL 8 license. What is the point of bug report not even your customers can read?
The latest release of "mock" and "mock-core-configs" from the git repos work reasonably well with RHEL 8. I've published RPM wrappers for them, at https://github.com/nkadel/mockrepo . Getting the RHEL 8 keys means declaring a subscription key manually right now.
