1 Application Stream Module Life Cycle
While the core operating system packages in the BaseOS repository for Oracle Linux 8 and Oracle Linux 9 retain a standard Oracle Linux support life cycle, the separate AppStream packages have their own major version releases and might have shorter lifespans from 2 to 5 years.
Support for the AppStream packages is limited to package installation assistance only. Additional support for AppStream modules might be provided if references to these modules and their use are included in other official Oracle Linux documentation from Oracle. Critical security errata and select high-impact critical bug fixes are provided in the newer versions of AppStream packages.
For more information about Oracle Linux Application Streams, see Oracle Linux: Managing Software on Oracle Linux.
Oracle Linux 9 Application Streams
The following tables list AppStream packages currently in Oracle Linux 9. As best practice, you should upgrade to the latest release of these packages as possible. Oracle continues to provide support for modules in the AppStream channel until the specified retirement date, as listed in the tables below.
Note:
Initial Application Streams released on Oracle Linux 9 are not released in modular format to simplify user experience. Therefore, when installing an initial Application Stream on Oracle Linux 9, you can use the dnf install command syntax without any need to reference a module.
Some Application Streams with shorter life cycles will be released in modular format with updated application stream versions in subsequent update releases.
Oracle Linux 9 Full Life Application Streams
Where possible, if there are multiple shorter-lived Application Streams offered, a single stream that extends the duration of the underlying Oracle Linux release may be offered.

Oracle Linux 9 Standard Application Streams
New versions of most Application Streams become available, as needed, during the Oracle Linux life cycle. Life cycles align to the upstream support life or to product needs as required. Multiple versions of the same Application Stream may be available at the same time with overlapping support durations.
