The prepare.sh script isn't currently used and forces us to make use of sudo to switch the user inside the container from root to $USER which created a problem on our Debian Slim-based containers which don't have the 'sudo' package installed. This patch removes the sudo invocation and instead runs the CMD directly with podman. Summary of the changes: - move the corresponding env variables which we need to be set in the environment from the sudo invocation to the podman invocation - pass --workdir to podman to retain the original behaviour we had with sudo spawning a login shell. - MESON_OPTS env variable doesn't need to propagated to the execution environment anymore (like we had to do with sudo), because it's defined in the Dockerfile Signed-off-by: Erik Skultety <eskultet@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Andrea Bolognani <abologna@redhat.com>
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.
