Looks like this is a RHEL buildroot only package, thus can just be built
in EPEL9.

Although web-assets is built in RHEL9, they are only releasing
web-assets-filesystem
Thus, we are missing web-assets-devel and web-assets-httpd

Definitely something we need. I believe I can take that.

OK there was a period in the EPEL-9 startup where the buildroot was
pointing to a copy of the CentOS Stream-9 koji build root. This was done to
help kickstart things, but it had the issue that packages that RHEL is not
going to ship to customers were available also. About 2-3 weeks ago, the
EPEL steering committee decided to move the buildroot to the properly
shipped chain of packages in CentOS Stream versus the buildroot. This
removed a bunch of packages that were 'available' but not going to be
shipped. These packages will need to be made into epel-only packages or
some other solution. I am fuzzy on this myself as I am from a different
philosophy school of building and shipping packages.
