[libvirt] ANNOUNCE: Upstream libvirt{, -python} releases built for CentOS

Hi all, Apparently some folks use CentOS for developing and/or testing software on top of libvirt (e.g., oVirt), which may be a bit troublesome since the version of libvirt released with CentOS is usually quite old compared to upstream. Using the downstream releases of libvirt for developing new features can introduce several months of delay, which may not be acceptable. So to make the development easier for folks who want to stick with CentOS I started to built upstream libvirt releases for Virt-SIG. The builds are not just a result of "make rpm", they are proper rebased versions of the released CentOS builds. In other words, all required downstream changes are ported to the new libvirt release. Regular CentOS builds essentially use one of these rebased builds as a base. You can expect both libvirt and libvirt-python CentOS builds within a few days after they are released upstream, unless I'm on vacation or CBS is not cooperating. The official repository for these build is http://mirror.centos.org/centos-7/7/virt/x86_64/libvirt-latest/ If you want packages for other architectures (there's no virt directory in http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/), you can use https://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/virt/$basearch/libvirt-latest/ or specifically https://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/virt/ppc64le/libvirt-latest/ https://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/virt/aarch64/libvirt-latest/ https://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/virt/x86_64/libvirt-latest/ Happy hacking.
