[ubuntu] Upgrading/installing newer libvirt

$

Is it simple/feasible to install or upgrade libvirt to a newer version?

I am on ubuntu 18.04/20.04 primarily.

I use this suite of packages to allow for a nice virtualization environment

  • libguestfs-tools
  • virtinst
  • python-libvirt
  • python-lxml
  • libvirt-daemon-system
  • virt-manager
  • libnss-libvirt

What exactly from these packages that correspond to what is called "libvirt" in common tongue I'm not totally sure. However my understanding is that 18.04 gives me libvirt 4.0.0 and 20.04 gives me libvirt 6.0.0.

So to my question. Would it be hard to upgrade on say 20.04 the libvirt 6.0.0 to libvirt 6.3.0 which is now released according to https://libvirt.org/news.html ? I fail to find any information about a PPA or some other way to reach newer libvirt version.

Any ideas?

$ virsh -v
6.0.0
