gpsd-minimal has been added to RHEL 9.2 and CentOS Stream 9.
Although it has a different name than gpsd that is in Fedora and EPEL, the
binary packages inside have the same name.
Thus gpsd-minimal and gps-minimal-clients conflict with gpsd and
gpsd-clients from EPEL. The RHEL packages have a Conflict setting in them,
so you cannot install both.
The binaries in gpsd-minimal and gps-minimal-clients are stand alone, and
thus there is no -libs, -devel or python packages.
Because of this, I have created a gpsd-epel package that only provides the
-libs, -devel and python3 packages, in the same version that was in epel9.
I used the epel9 version because there is a incompatible upgrade between
the epel version and the RHEL version.
* What does this mean to you as an EPEL9 user?
If you used the gpsd clients, you will need to install the gpsd-minimal and
gps-minimal-clients.
If you have epel or 3rd party packages that built using the gpsd from EPEL,
they will continue to work with no change needed on your end.
