RHEL8 package list

[Mattia Verga]

Is there a way to get the package list and their version available in RHEL8?
For example, I would like to make kpmcore and kde-partitionmanager available in EPEL8, but
they require util-linux >= 2.33.2. Since I can't find what version is available in
Bodhi/Koji/etc. I would like to know if there's some other web service where I can
find that without having to install a VM just for that...
Thanks

Unofficial, but very useful:

There's also: 

https://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/repo/json/

which are pulled from the repos epel uses in koji. 

Looks like util-linux is 2.32.1... 

"util-linux": {"channels":
{"codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-aarch64-rpms": [{"release":
"17.el8", "epoch": "0", "versions":
"2.32.1"},

Please file a bug in bugzilla, requesting both of these to be added to EPEL8.
It's possible that we might need to use the older version from Fedora
30 (kpmcore-3.3.0-5 and kde-partitionmanager-3.3.1-4)

Yes, currently there are old versions of both in epel8-playground (those you
built some time ago)... I only wanted to check if there was the possibility to upgrade
them to the latest version, but util-linux is still too old to support them.

I can now elaborate a little bit more.
A few weeks ago I tried to update kpmcore and kde-partitionmanager in
my preparation for the qt5/kde update that is coming with RHEL 8.2.
But with no luck.  Even when I forced the rpm build to try to use the
older util-linux, things didn't build properly.

So, in summary, I will try to get pdmcore and kde-partitionmanager
into regular EPEL8, and not just playground.
During the upcoming qt5/kde/plasma update that is going to happen with
RHEL 8.2, those two packages will not be updated.
The testing I have done (not extensive) shows that, although older,
they still work.
