        I mirrored the source rpms down and did the following for 8 and
        9-stream.
        ```
        $ for i in AppStream BaseOS PowerTools; do echo $i; find ./$i
        -type f -name "*src.rpm" | xargs rpm --nosignature
        --qf='%{NAME}\n' -qp > /tmp/a-$i; sort -o /tmp/a-$i -u
        /tmp/a-$i; done
        $ sort -o /tmp/a -u /tmp/a-* ; sort -o /tmp/b -u /tmp/b-*
        $ wc -l /tmp/a* /tmp/b*
           2652 /tmp/a
           1740 /tmp/a-AppStream
            536 /tmp/a-BaseOS
            503 /tmp/a-PowerTools
           2273 /tmp/b
           1620 /tmp/b-AppStream
            399 /tmp/b-BaseOS
            295 /tmp/b-CRB
        $ comm -1 -2 /tmp/a /tmp/b | wc -l
        2090
        $ comm -1 -3 /tmp/a /tmp/b | wc -l
        183
        $ comm -2 -3 /tmp/a /tmp/b | wc -l
        562
        ```
        So 183 packages were added to 9 that weren't in 8 and 562
        packages were 'removed'. Some of those are obsolete packages like

        python2, python36,python38, gcc-toolset-9, gcc-toolset-10,
autoconf213. Others are module things which aren't shipped already.

    The following statement was wrong. Some subset of that 500 may be
    built and could go into CRB, but that would require mirroring the
    CentOS Stream koji which I didn't do.

        That leaves about 500 source packages which aren't even built
        internally so aren't going into CRB.


I was gathering each of the names of the binary and source packages directly from the repos for my "Will It Build", so I did a few tweaks and  got these numbers.  I feel they are quite accurate.

CentOS Stream 8:
AppStream: 4553
BaseOS: 1715
CRB: 1614
Total Source RPMS: 2260

CentOS Stream 9:
AppStream: 5225
BaseOS: 1130
CRB: 1370
Total Source RPMS: 2252

So, there is a drop of 250 packages in CRB from RHEL8 to RHEL9.  But beyond that, things are quite close.

Troy

First off, I apologize for:

- injecting bad data into this discussion
- making assumptions about packages being in the RHEL9 buildroot that were not true
- using a subject that didn't really reflect what my real concern was

So, I really don't care if RHEL overall is shrinking or not. My concern was over the possible increase in 'buildroot-only' packages - which seems may not be any worse than it is with RHEL8 (although that's annoying enough - more on that in another response).

Thanks Troy and Smooge for your data. But I guess what I would be really interested in finding out (if possible) is the number of buildroot-only packages in the two distros.

I've done some poking, and this is what I've come up with for *new* missing -devel packages in CS9 with their approximate number of users in rawhide:

That's a lot. Now, many of these are pretty obscure and do not have any users - but I'm also seeing a number that are going to hit me and the scitech sig:

blis-devel 2
flexiblas-devel 33
gsl-devel 51
suitesparse64-devel 3

There are some other big ones as well.
