Determine whether requiring `libyaml-devel` on yum-based systems creates working charms
Metadata
Current evaluation
Investigate whether adding libyaml-devel to yum-based charm build packages produces working charms, for consistency with libyaml-dev added for apt in #1766. Open, unassigned, no comments.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: Maintainer-authored and labeled 'good first issue', with explicit steps (build an almalinux charm using yaml, deploy it, then add libyaml-devel to the yum-based branch of get_build_packages or close with an explanation). The code confirms libyaml-dev is present only in the deb-based branch of charmcraft/parts/plugins/_charm.py, so the task is well-scoped but still requires hands-on build/deploy verification that no one has performed.
