This adds CentOS Stream 8 to the set of images that the builder
can use. CentOS Stream 8 is a continuously delivered upstream of
the next RHEL 8.x release. It doesn't have a minor version number.
It appears that my index-fragment has a hash in it, and thus this
commit may need to be amended by the maintainer before merging
into the main repo.
This has been tested by creating a local centosstream-8.xz image
then consuming that image via a local repos.d file and using
virt-builder to build a bootable CentOS Stream 8 image:
$ cat ~/.config/virt-builder/repos.d/local.conf
[local]
uri=file:///data/src/guestfs-tools/builder/templates/index
$ virt-builder --list | grep stream
centosstream-8 x86_64 CentOS Stream 8
$ virt-builder centosstream-8
