Hi, just a quick update on current issues in trying to build oVirt Node and
the engine appliance outside Jenkins.

1) Using GitHub Actions: an attempt to build it is in progress here:
https://github.com/sandrobonazzola/ovirt-appliance/pull/1
it's currently failing due to lorax not being able to perform the build. It
kind of make sense as we are trying to do a virt-install within a container
without the needed virtualization hardware exposed.
I'm currently investigating how to make use of software virtualization in
order to drop the requirement on missing hardware / nested virtualization.
Also investigating on how to use self hosted runners for providing a build
system with usable virtualization hardware.

2) Using COPR: we have basically the same issue: lorax fails not having
access to the virtualization hardware

3) Using CentOS Community Build System
This is a fully fledged Koji instance and it allows to build using the
image-build variant. It has a completely different configuration system and
it is more similar to what we are doing within the downstream build of
oVirt Node. An attempt of providing the configuration started here:
https://gerrit.ovirt.org/c/ovirt-appliance/+/117801
The issue there is that all the packages needed to be included within Node
and Appliance must be built within CentOS Community Build System build root.
The system has no external access to the internet so everything we need it
needs to come from CentOS infra.

I haven't started digging into oVirt Node but the build flow is very
similar to the appliance one, so once one is solved, the other should be
simple.
