Michal,
Many thanks for the sharing!
That sounds a good way to my situation, i actually want to upgrade the
libvirt on several RHEL 8 compute nodes of an OpenStack deployment.
I setup CentOS env for verification before the actual upgrade.
But following your instruction, i have two questions here, would you
kindly share more details with the processes?
1) Assume i want to upgrade to version 6.1.0, which one of the src.rpms
should i use? all the three have same effects for installing the
dependent packages?

2) if then i download the libvirt-6.1.0.tar.xz for making the rpm, do i
need to write a spec file on my own for the rpmbuild tool to work?
Yes, you are right! I made mistake for the version number.
Below check is from my newly installed CentOS 8 env, you can see when i
choose the "Server with GUI" environment groups, the libvirt was bundle
installed.
