Thanks a lot for this clear explanation. Now a few more questions: - Is there an official/unofficial repo for packages that are built by koji but are not "shipped" ? - Any idea why docbook-utils is shipped while docbook-utils-pdf is not? It is the same source package. This is wired and makes this difficult for alternative repo like epel or elrepo to add the missing bits and pieces like docbook-utils-pdf... If its obsolete, do you know any replacement that would let me convert my sgml doc (systemimager) to a more modern (still generic format) that has converters to man and html formats at least? (and pdf also) -Is there a place where I could read about all dropped packages? I've searched in redhat changelog and centos and all I could find is a few packages dropped like NIS related or so. Cheers, PS: I've found btrfs-progs in elrepo-testing, so I suppose it'll end soon in elrepo Olivier.

Red Hat wanted to cut down the number of packages it would offer different levels of support for so while packages are built they might be shuffled into either BaseOS (strong support long lifetime), AppStream (strong support short lifetime), Code Read Builder (no support called PowerTools because Code Ready is a product line), and not shipped. so so docbook-dtds is in AppStream docbook-utils is in PowerTools and docbook-utils-pdf is not shipped. > I’ve installed epel-release and elrepo-release and centos-release-stream. > > Do I miss something or is it a matter of time due to mirro syncs? > > I misse btrfs packages, perl-Tk packages, docbook packages and many more that I can find on https://koji.mbox.centos.org/koji/builds > perl-tk is in PowerTools btrfs is in the NotShipped > Where am I wrong? > > PS: I’m running CentOS-8 in docker (roboxes/centos8 wainting for official centos:8 container).
