Oracle Linux 8 Application Streams
The following tables lists AppStream packages currently in Oracle Linux 8. 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.
Oracle Linux 8 Full Life Application Streams
Where possible, if several shorter-lived Application Streams are available, a single stream that extends the duration of the underlying Oracle Linux release might be offered.

Oracle Linux 8 Rolling Application Streams
Rolling application streams are supported for the full life of the Oracle Linux 8 release. New versions of the streams replace existing versions in update releases. Rolling streams are only used when it's essential to have new versions of the stream. Users of rolling streams understand when and how the streams are updated and be prepared for newer versions.
