https://www.puppet.com/docs/pe/2023.6/supported_operating_systems#supported_operating_systems has some kind of extensive package requirements for various operating systems. However, these lists have not been vetted against different OS versions (for example RHEL 7, 8 and 9) to determine if they are still valid. I noticed while testing against EL8 and EL9 systems some of these packages no longer exist and therefore aren't requirements. These lists should be cleaned up and presented as a table for each OS, something like:
Package|. EL7. | EL8 | EL9 |
|Primary|All Nodes|Primary|All Nodes|Primary|All Nodes|
pkgfor7 |. X. |. X. |. |. |. |. |
pkgfor78|. X. | X. | X. |. X. | | |
pkg7-9. |. X | X | X | X | X | X |
