Bump the required version of libnbd to 1.14 (released Aug 2022). This allows us to remove a check for older nbdcopy in the code. RHEL 9 (our new minimum) has libnbd 1.20

Virt-v2v is a program that converts a single guest from a foreign
|
|
hypervisor to run on KVM. It can read Linux and Windows guests
|
|
running on VMware, Xen, Hyper-V and some other hypervisors, and
|
|
convert them to KVM managed by libvirt, OpenStack, oVirt, Red Hat
|
|
Virtualisation (RHV) or several other targets. It can modify the
|
|
guest to make it bootable on KVM and install virtio drivers so it will
|
|
run quickly.
|
|
|
|
There is also a companion front-end called virt-p2v
|
|
(https://github.com/libguestfs/virt-p2v) which comes as an ISO, CD or
|
|
PXE image that can be booted on physical machines to virtualize those
|
|
machines (physical to virtual, or p2v).
|
|
|
|
Virt-v2v and virt-p2v have been in continuous development since 2007.
|
|
|
|
For more information about virt-v2v and virt-p2v please read the
|
|
respective manual pages. For virt-v2v, see the docs/ subdirectory in
