After several attempts, Blender is finally available for EPEL9 as 3.3
LTS series. Major differences compared to its Fedora counterpart is the
minimal dependencies based on blender_lite.cmake[2] thus light version.
As the result, functions like Cycle Rendering will be unavailable but
Eevee, Blender internal rendering, is by default. This release is
basically a starting point to gradually implement missing dependencies
needed for some other options.
EPEL co-maintainers are welcome to further improve the support.
