Thank you for attempting to help but, with my hats of Fedora packager 
(since 2004) and [former] member of several Centos teams ( among which 
Devel and QA ) on, and speaking strictly about CentOS 7, let me tell you 
that unfortunately you are wrong in both your sentences cited above.

1. The post you referenced is significant for Fedora 29 and later. 
CentOS 7 was loosely based on F18/F19. There is no package named 
i2c-tools-devel in CentOS 7. Please use 'yum provides "*/<relevant 
header file name.h here>"' to find out which package provides the header 
files under discussion.

2. Up to and including CentOS 7,  CentOS always included all the 
packages in a single ( well, two if you count base and updates 
separately ) repository. If you take a peek at 
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7.9.2009/ you will notice that there is 
no separate "development" repository. Your confusion probably comes from 
the change implemented by RH in EL8, forcing CentOS to distribute the 
devel packages via the separate and by default disabled CRB repository .


As of your previous message cited below, it was partially wrong too

Leaving aside that there is no development involved between RHEL7 and 
CentOS 7 ( the packages pushed by RH to git.centos.org are simply 
rebuilt by CentOS ), the correct flow is described at
