Missing SDL3 devel package

Our Neighbors CentOS
1

Hey,
I’m looking for the SDL3 devel package(s) in CentOS Stream 10..
When I do a yum search I only see the library SO package:

$ yum search SDL3
Last metadata expiration check: 0:07:41 ago on Fri Nov 21 14:52:45 2025.
============================================================================================ Name Exactly Matched: SDL3 ============================================================================================
SDL3.x86_64 : Cross-platform multimedia library

Which contains:

$ yum repoquery -l SDL3.x86_64

/usr/lib/.build-id
/usr/lib/.build-id/db
/usr/lib/.build-id/db/cea6f53d4d6bf7bb304560555562f8d1a3ba08
/usr/lib64/libSDL3.so.0
/usr/lib64/libSDL3.so.0.2.4
/usr/share/doc/SDL3
/usr/share/doc/SDL3/BUGS.txt
/usr/share/doc/SDL3/CREDITS.md
/usr/share/doc/SDL3/README.md
/usr/share/licenses/SDL3
/usr/share/licenses/SDL3/LICENSE.txt

Now the lib doesn’t seem very useful to me without the corresponding devel package to allow compilation of apps that use the lib :sweat_smile:.

Is there some logic to this?
Or a timeline?
Any other place to where I should move this question?

Any hints welcome,
Thanks,

Some further research, when I compare the SDL3 RPM spec here:
https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/SDL3/-/blob/c10s/SDL3.spec
and the old SDL2 RPM spec here:
https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/SDL2/-/blob/c9s/SDL2.spec
I can see that both have a fairly similar layout, including a %package devel section.

Also I tried to check the redhat bugtracker, but there isn’t even a product component for CentOS so I guess I’m not in the right place there?

I checked the chat rooms on matrix but all of them seem more internal than for public questions..
#centos-space:fedoraproject.org

(And last mention of SDL on the maillist seems 2 years ago)

You need to file a ticket on the Red Hat Jira to get SDL3-devel into CRB. It’s built but currently not shipped.

If you want to ask questions about this, you’d want to go to #centos-devel:fedoraproject.org
