Re: [CentOS] Centos Stream 9 module list

Modules are one of several packaging formats we have. With CentOS Stream 9/ RHEL 9, we took user and customer feedback on how the default versions of software are packaged and determined that the defaults should be normal RPMs. Newer and alternative versions of software will be delivered as modules in some cases, or as regular RPMs with applicable versioning in others.

Hi Josh, can I ask the rationale behind this decision?

It seems "strange" to have some different version in the main repos, with versioned RPMs, and other in specific modules (which needs to be manually enabled).

Regards.
