Pull request overview
This PR updates the Linux packaging CI to drop EOL distro targets and standardize builds on newer base images (notably Ubuntu 22.04 / jammy), reducing the workflow matrix and removing legacy packaging configurations.
Changes:
- Shrinks the DEB/RPM build and test matrices by removing Debian buster/bullseye, Ubuntu focal, Fedora 37–42, and openSUSE 15.4–15.6.
- Switches the “Prepare Binaries” container from Debian buster to Ubuntu jammy and removes buster-specific apt workarounds and source builds of autoconf/bison.
- Refactors packaging helper scripts/workflow calls to use
client/managerinstead oflinux_client/linux_manager.
