Description

Do not require installation of the libavc1394-devel package for CentOS 8.

This is another "it's complicated" issue.

Background: With RHEL8 (and CentOS 8), the libavc1394 library is shipped.  However, the related -devel package is not. A request ( https://pagure.io/epel/issue/80 ) has been made for RH to include the devel package in the CRB repo, which, when resolved, will eventually be included in the CentOS 8 AppStream? repo(1).  However, there is no known schedule(2) for resolution of the CRB build (there are a number of

-devel packages which have been requested to match their shipping libraries for RHEL8).

So, as firewire support is a somewhat targeted requirement, do not require installation support in CentOS 8 ansible at the moment.  Once the request for building the -devel library is addressed, this patch can be reverted.

(1) Different name because, apparently, CodeReady? is a service? mark of RH.

(2) These are the times when I miss having a access to a RH TAM to ask for planning (not committed) purposes for scheduling.

Proposed patch follows:
