Do you want this on CentOS 8, Ubuntu 20.04, or something else? The help we
can give you will vary quite considerably depending on the distro you use;
and, as you point out, RedHat-derived and Debian-derived distributions are
very different.
For CentOS, do you have the advanced virtualization repo enabled?

Hello again,
So I have been struggling to compile the libvirt newest version 7.8.0. I
am running CentOS 8 and during the meson build process I am getting non
stop dependency fails. I keep installing the necessary packages and slowly
progressing. Now the last one that stopped was gnutls. When I go to
install that package via yum install gnutls -y it says that it is
already complete and installed. Sigh…….
I am very surprised that there is no package for libvirt via rpm,yum etc…
the lastest one installed via yum was 6.0.0.
Can someone help by pointing to some where that has these latest
packages? Or how best to compile this from source. It is amazing how much
is missing from this distro.
Thanks again.
Brad

Hello,
I am new to kvm/qemu/libvirt. I am loving it. I am working on setting my
first vm with shared file system with virtio-fs. I got an error, and
google foo said, my version was too old. When I checked it said.
libvirt version: 6.0.0, package: 0ubuntu8.14 (Matthew Ruffell

I used apt package manager to install libvirt. I am running on ubuntu
20.04. I have tried apt update libvirt and I get..no updates available.
What do I do at this point? Do I have to build it from source?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Brad
