Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. CentOS stream 9 has been released recently as part of preparation for a RHEL 9 release. It would be nice to have official builds available on repo.saltproject.io in order to help salt users on RHEL / CentOS test their upgrades and migrations.

Please Note If this feature request would be considered a substantial change or addition, this should go through a SEP process here https://github.com/saltstack/salt-enhancement-proposals, instead of a feature request.

bump, would be nice to have

Well, double this. It will be amazing

Since RHEL 9 has been released, having an official package would be extra nice.

#61996 Might be a related ticket to keep tabs on. I'm not sure if/how binary compatibility is going to pan out between CentOS Stream and the RHEL derivatives like Alma or Rocky.

Is there anything we can do to help? IE can one of us start a PR?

Are there instructions on how to build our own RPMs? I dug around and found some Jenkins CI stuff but I don't know how to add another distribution exactly without access to salt's Jenkins instance to test with.

The linked issue has been fixed/closed, however it's not yet clear when this should show up on the public repos, it's also not clear whether this is going to show up for the 3004 series or only when 3005 is released...

+1 this, we have planned and tested migrations for RHEL 8 to RHEL 9 in our production environment since 9's release, the only thing missing is saltstack support, would be nice to hear a response from salt devs regards this.

Seemingly this issue will be resolved when 3005 is released: https://docs.saltproject.io/salt/install-guide/en/latest/topics/upgrade-to-tiamat.html#what-is-tiamat

Thank you for the update.

We now have rhel9 packages. Please note only the new onedir style packages are available:

Closing as the packages are now available
