I'm using CentOS 7 for development of software that is sometimes used on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. I conjunction with an update of one of the applications, I asked some Red Hat users to install the Qt 4 Assistant application via the qt-assistant package (which is used by a "help" function in our software.) It seemed like there was no such package in the Red Hat package set, however, and I also see no mention of it in "package manifests" like https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__access.redhat.com_docum.... Yet I can install the package from the "base" repository on my CentOS machine.
Questions: Isn't CentOS base supposed to contain exactly the same packages as Red Hat Enterprise, except in some special cases that relate to distribution information, installation sources etc.? Does anyone know what's going on with the specific package I mention above?

The qt-assistant package is available in RHEL-7:
$ sudo yum list qt-assistant
qt-assistant.x86_64 1:4.8.7-2.el7 rhel-7-server-optional-rpms
Right. I notice the word "optional" here - I guess this is where some of the confusion comes from, as the Red Hat doc mentioned above does not say anything about optional packages, it just mentions base and "supplementary" channels. Evidently, optional rpms are not enabled on the system mentioned earlier...
Also, this must mean that CentOS "base" is not the same as Red Hat "base". Right?
