Currently we do native builds on all distros that are covered
by the support matrix. This reduces that such that we mostly
only run builds on the newest (ie bleeding edge non-released)
version and the oldest version. The effect is that cut out
builds on the newest release version. This is acceptable,
because that version is sandwiched between two versions we
do still test, so unlikely to have failures not already
identified by other jobs.
This has the effect of disabling:
- AlmaLinux 8 GCC - still has a CLang build
and CentOS 8 Stream also gives coverage
- Debian 11 - still has a Debian 10 and Sid
build
- Alpine 3.15 - still has a Alpine 3.14 and Edge
build
Ideally Fedora 35 would be disabled too, but we rely on that
for the integration tests.
The Ubuntu jobs will be handled in the next patch.
The containers are still built since this is cheap-ish.
The build jobs can also be triggered manually if desired.

Libvirt API for virtualization
==============================
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management
daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the
API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other
languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as
mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
