A small status update.

The (new) plan is to for now only support AlmaLinux 9, as that is the 
only available "el9" distribution out there you can install without 
trouble. As soon as Rocky Linux 9 is there, it will be supported as well.

As far as Red Hat Enterprise 9 itself goes, that should work with either 
the AlmaLinux or Rocky Linux packages. They should be identical anyway. 
It is however possible to build packages against the official Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux 9 packages as well, but that requires a (development) 
subscription. I have one of those, but makes it "less free" for others 
to build the packages.

If there's people deploying on "real" Red Hat Enterprise 9, we can 
revisit this and also provide packages built against that if so desired.

This has been integrated as well, both the Fedora and el9 builds now use 
"put" to run unit tests during build and that works totally fine.

I noticed the vpn-maint-scripts are not all working properly on el9, at 
least vpn-maint-update-system is broken, so this need to be updated still.
