Hi,
This is essentially a rehash of my post yesterday to the elrepo list. I think it might be more appropriate here.
For some time I have been building and running MythTV rpms to run under Scientific Linux, currently version 7.9. This has required some hoop jumping (just a little of it by me) as MythTV has evolved. No doubt I will have to abandon the builds fairly soon, but I would prefer not to do so immediately.
Yesterday the MythTV project reset its minimum version of taglib to 1.11.1, and a bunch of updates depending on that has just been committed.
rpms for taglib 1.11+ (and taglib-devel) are available for CentOS 8 and several other distributions, but the 'current' version in SL7 et al is 1.8-8.20130218git. This is in the core repos, and I understand that other repos cannot provide updates for such packages.
I have not yet tried a personal rebuild of the taglib packages from el8, but is there any possibility that the taglib and taglib-devel in core el7 might be updated?
Thanks,
John P

Short Answer: No Long Answer: RHEL7 (the core el7 as you say) entered it's maintenance phase with RHEL 7.9 last year. This means no new features, and no updates that are not security and/or major bugs. Just to be sure, I double checked if there was anything that looked like there was work on a new libtag, and the answer is the same, nope.
I know it's not the news you wanted, but it's the news that is. Troy

Thanks for the quick answer. It's probably the one I was expecting.
