Okay, thanks to you and to Josh Boyer for the info.  This appears to be
a little different from CentOS 8 (and Fedora), where such things are
always modules, so I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.

Modules will probably occur later in time. Made up example follows
which bears no resemblance to reality: Perl-5.400 comes out and it is
a good candidate for use, then it will be added as a module which
would replace regular packages.  Same with PHP, IDM and other
'fast-but-useful' tool-sets.

RHEL 9 / CentOS Stream 9 currently has no modules.  Over the life of
the release, we expect to add them when newer versions of various
software stacks are made available.

[CentOS] CentOS 9-stream modules?

2021-11-14 Thread Chris Adams
I started looking at 9-stream a bit... and I notice there are no package
modules.  All the things that were modules in 8/8-stream appear to have
been folded back into the base OS, with no variants included (like
different versions of MariaDB and php for example).  Is this expected to
be the way forward, or are modules just still to be filled out?
