Libguestfs - Mar 2022 - Running lcitool in nbdkit

Am I doing this wrong?  [see log below]  This is using the upstream
libvirt-ci checked out just now from gitlab, but it seems as if nbdkit
has to be listed as a project under that repo.

"./lcitool projects" shows libnbd but not nbdkit.

A second question, since the libvirt-ci project does a bunch of stuff
with ansible & containers, regenerating the files like this doesn't
require ansible & containers?  (I don't want to run those on my
development machine.)

$ ../libvirt-ci/lcitool manifest ci/manifest.yml
Generating ci/containers/almalinux-8.Dockerfile

Indeed, there's only libnbd there. Presumably nbdkit is something
Martin hasn't got around to adding ?

With recentish changes though there's no longer any need to add
projects directly to libvirt-ci.git. They can be kept locally
in the project eg

   nbdkit.git/ci/projects/nbdkit.yml

then use  'lcitool --data-dir ci' and it'll find the nbdkit.yml
when searching for projects.

libvirt-ci.git will only need modifying it distro package
mappings need additions/changes.

ansible is only used when managing VMs, no need for it with containers.
