Ubuntu

by

> Short term TODO list:
> 1) Add support for virt-preview on Fedora-23 [should happen next week]

Thanks for this Tony!
The libvirt testing job which makes use of that can be found at [1]
(not yet merged). To ensure a repeatability of the job, the version of
the additional package should be somehow controllable by the testing
job itself (maybe by another env variable "version" or dedicated libs;
"/devstack/lib/libvirt1.2.16-qemu1.2.3" instead of
"/devstack/lib/libvirt"
But that's a thing I'd like to do after the experimental testing job
runs successfully with the current happy path.
