I don't think this reflects a reality we have. Remember that Stream
tracks next version to be released. This means it is always updated when
next version development is in progress. There is a slight inversion
between 9 Stream and 8 Stream for historical reasons: 9 Stream git
repos updated first, then packages built in both CentOS 9 Stream and
RHEL 9 development branch, then QA process runs on both and once RHEL QA
process allows to gate the builds through, both RHEL and CentOS Stream
composes get updated -- all this automatically. In CentOS 8 Stream
situation is reverted: RHEL 8 git is updated first, then builds for RHEL
run through QA process and once they succeed through the gating and
appear in the composes, CentOS 8 Stream git gets updated and packages
get built -- all this manually. That's a historical thing since with
Stream the real process change is happening in 9.
What we see in
https://git.centos.org/rpms/ipa/commits/c8s-stream-DL1,
sadly, is that somehow it misses quite a number of updates in RHEL 8
development that happened through the summer. I'll ask CentOS people to
sync-up the 8 Stream, if possible.
was updated to include a recent RHEL 8.5 development build
sources for the build that passed RHEL QA process:
so looks like it was built yesterday and is now available through the 8
Stream's repositories.
