Of course... I did however need the newer versions because it contained
fixes to the odb compiler that I needed in my case.

If you do need the development version, then I made a COPR for the alpha

Yes I had indeed installed them 18 days ago, and got to the point where I
required the libodb as well. I tried to use copr for this libodb as well
but couldn't figure out how to get the SRPM and change the version and get
copr to build them for me.
Therefore I tried instead to do it directly from git, and therefore the
questions in this mailing list.

These SRPMS have the 2.4.0 version. I don't understand what "alpha" means.
