I'm evaluating Oracle Linux as a CentOS alternatives. During my tests I have to compile a package depending on libyaml-devel but the lib isn't present in the repo.

I had the impression Oracle Linux would provide the same packages as RHEL. So why I can find it for RHEL but not Oracle? Do I miss something?

The RHEL 8 packages and the Oracle one's.

You need to enable "PowerTools" repository equivalent. For Oracle Linux 8:

sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled ol8_codeready_builder

  • Great thanks, it show up using `dnf search libyaml-devel`. I haven't came across it. Can you point me to the documentation please? – Alexandre Stein Jan 18 '21 at 19:30
  • I couldn't locate any docs in Oracle about the repository. Used pkgs.org to see what is the repository containing `libyaml-devel`; following that, a google search on enabling PowerTools repo in Oracle Linux 8 will bring you [here](https://community.oracle.com/tech/apps-infra/discussion/4314646/powertools-and-pgadmin-4-on-oracle-linux-8) with someone stating the correct repository ID. – Danila Vershinin Jan 18 '21 at 19:36
