Switch from alvistack to a fork of https://github.com/mgoltzsche/podman-static (the fork lives at https://github.com/buildbuddy-io/podman-static). Also bump the podman version to v4.9.4, since this repo appears to be missing 4.9.1 (but otherwise has a good track record of releasing new versions frequently).
This has multiple benefits:
podman_test
extract the tar under/
before running the test, so that we're always testing the podman version at the current git commit, rather than depending on an outdated executor image that doesn't reflect the current podman version. See the conversation here. (We could in theory do something similar with alvistack, but it would be significantly slower and more complicated.)This repo seems to be well-maintained. It is missing podman v5+ builds but v5 has only been out for a couple of weeks.
Tested in dev with some basic actions, and we'll also have this week to do more testing.
