Add epel9 release

Adds epel9 to the database scripts

Looks good to me.

https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/9/Everything/x86_64/ is a resource that exists.

I will prolly deploy these changes in the next version release on the staging environment first before these come to the production environment, so it would take some time.

Just wondering why this was done this way rather than update the existing conditional to elif rels["name"] == "Fedora EPEL" and versdata >= "8". Is there an expectation that 10 will be different?

As a matter of fact, EPEL 10 is going to work differently.

@gridhead Seems to work well in staging! How do you normally go about doing these releases? Will there be an issue/ticket somewhere for the prod deployment?

Hi @richardfearn, I let the staging deployment stay on the counter for a week to see if anyone raises complains about it. In case there are no complains - which usually is the case, the deployment identical to the staging deployment is made on the production.

I do not think I have documented this somewhere but there is a deployment SOP.
