This means that these differences between CentOS and Red Hat releases have existed in previous CentOS releases for different packages. Usually by the time someone who had a Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscriptions found the discrepancy, the package had been shipped and was considered permanent in CentOS. My understanding that other than by email communication or a manual audit, the only items that give a clue that something is not shipped are modules which in their build state tell the Module Build System what packages are to be included in the compose and which ones are to be filtered out. > > > > It's very frustrating.

It wasn't available, originally, and at last look RHEL does not publish the binary at all. Before my subscription expired, I was firmly told that such packages "weren't supported" and would not be published, even though they're built automatically along with compiling the quota SRPM and are used to build other packages internally. The segregation of build packjages into a private, internal repository is frankly one of my notable dissappointments with RHEL 8. > http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8/Devel/x86_64/os/Packages/ > > check also > > https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2020-March/036644.html Yes, I used to publish RPM building tools for "quota" along with my Samba compilation suite. I gave up compiling Samba on RHEL directly because of just such issues and am compelled to use CentOS 8 because of it.
