Hi All,

since CentOS Stream 9 test compose builds are there and thus we can all
see what will be coming in RHEL 9:

https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2021-April/076802.html

When could we expect a build of at least puppet-agent for CentOS Stream 9?

What needs to happen to get that build included or how can one build one
on their own?

This would allow:

a) pre-test the puppet ecosystem around RHEL 9, so things are ready when
RHEL 9 is ready.

b) allow module authors (looking at you voxpupuli) to enable testing on
CentOS Stream 9 to start validating modules for upcoming CentOS Stream 9
and RHEL 9

c) have puppet ecosystem ready for CentOS Stream 9

As a reminder:

CentOS Project will only deliver builds as CentOS Stream, which tracks
ahead of RHEL 9. RHEL 9 is supposed to be released next year. CentOS
Stream 9 is supposed to be released in Q2 2021 - which is now.
https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/faq-centos-stream-updates#Q1

But since the RHEL 9 development process happens now in the open
https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream it would be beneficial for the
Puppet Ecosystem to be able to hook in there.

I personally would love to start validating my stuff for RHEL 9 and not
have to do the work once RHEL 9 got released and eventually there is a
puppet release for RHEL 9.

There are other communities rebuilding the original intend of CentOS
Linux (rebuild of RHEL) in Alma or Rocky Linux. As obviously there is no
RHEL 9 yet, we can't yet say whether there will be a Rocky Linux 9 or
Alma Linux 9.
