Hi, I have to port/build quite a number of packages for upcoming RHEL9. I

hope that I don't have to redo a lot of the work again later for the
released RHEL9.
Does it sound like a good idea to start now or should I better wait a
bit?
I'm already doing that. Do just expect everything that also happened in
EL8. Missing devel or sub packages. Striped down s/rpm macros that blocks building fedora packages directly. So, business as usual. BTW, some packages are not in streams anymore. This makes custom overlay
repos a bit easier ...
I think you can build directly against the repos in the centos stream koji. https://kojihub.stream.centos.org/kojifiles/
We're not using koji so I don't know how I could make use of these repos.
I've done a number of the easier builds now and they went well. Now I'm trying to build a package which requires imake but I can't find it anywhere.
I guess imake could be missing because the Xorg stuff is being built without it today?
Does anybody know if imake is still used but not shipped or is it not used and built for EL9 anymore?
Thanks, Simon

imake is not included in EL9 at all. It could be packaged and added to EPEL9 for those interested in doing so.

So, can we expect that what is included in baseos+appstream+crb is what will be available in RHEL9?

Yes, the packages that are present in CentOS Stream 9 repositories reflect what will be available in RHEL 9 when it is released. That's one of the main purposes of CentOS Stream :)
We're still developing and changing before the first release so there will be some flux, but I don't expect anything drastic at this point.
