While working on EPEL9, it seems that even more packages are missing from RHEL9 than were in RHEL8.  The latest I found was cppunit, which appears to be completely missing from the CS9 repos despite having been built (See https://kojihub.stream.centos.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=2414) and presumably in the CS9/RHEL9 buildroot.

So I scraped some screens from pkgs.org:

Stream 9:

CentOS AppStream Official   x86_64 8882
CentOS BaseOS Official      x86_64 2357
CentOS CRB Official         x86_64 1856

Stream 8:

CentOS AppStream Official   x86_64 15008
CentOS BaseOS Official      x86_64 6721
CentOS PowerTools Official  x86_64 3771

That's a pretty big difference.  Now, I don't know how many were dropped completely and how many are of the "buildroot only" variety. But I suspect there is a fair amount of the latter and so a lot of make-work ahead of us for EPEL9.

Packaging for EPEL9 is starting to feel more and more like cleaning the Augean stables with RedHat piling up more manure.

If there is any Python stuff that's in Buildroot only, let me know and I'll do my best to persuade the maintainers to move it to CRB (but my powers are limited).


Recently I came across the python-zope-* packages, e.g.:
