I have an idea of how to do this, so I'm willing to volunteer to write and run
something.

This was discussed at the EPEL Steering Committee meeting. Here is the summary.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
epel9-next:
- starts off building off CS buildroot
- I will write a "check if all build packages are in the normal repos"
checker, called "will it build" [1]
How are we going to know whether all the build-time and run-time
packages are in the normal repos? We need to check generated
dependencies too, especially now that it's possible to have dynamic
BuildRequires!
epel9:
- Use normal RHEL 9 repos (AppStream, BaseOS, CRB)
Checks/Tests/Future: (It's a little fuzzy on the timing of these)
- grobisplitter
-- see if we really need to use grobisplitter
-- I'm a little fuzzy on how or when we are going to test this
With the retirement of the container-tools default module,
grobisplitter will not be required at all unless we want to use it to
support non-default modules.
