Hello
I've been evaluating CentOS 8 for a while now. I found that pacemaker and pcs packages (aka "High Availability Addon") are missing in the default repositories. They seem to exist in EPEL.
Is this a bug or an intention?
This is intentional. The High Availability Addon in RHEL-8 is a separate product line outside of the operating system so does not come across in the RHEL-> git.centos.org source feed. So the packages are not in CentOS-8.
This is where smooge should read what package it was, go to confirm in RHEL and then CentOS, and then reply.
OK so I was wrong and apologize for not doing my homework before replying. pacemaker is a src.rpm which builds pacemaker-libs rpm which is shipped in RHEL and CentOS. The missing packages are ones which are not shipped in RHEL because they are in the High Availability Addon product. So I think they are not shipped in CentOS because of the same reason various other -devel packages aren't shipped. THey aren't in RHEL so they aren't in CentOS.
Unless I'm misunderstanding, these add-ons have historically been included with CentOS... was this not in fact the case, or has something changed? (I specifically remember seeing haproxy from RS add-on installed from CentOS on a RHEL server because it wasn't available natively without extra cost.)
