Can you elaborate a little bit on the desired outcome? Are you looking for a pre-built binary version, a build recipe to follow, or just a validation that the code compiles?

A yml file thats located at .github/workflows/ that provides binaries. Here's an example of what I'm talking about https://github.com/wunnr/partydeck/blob/main/.github/workflows/build_fedora.yml

Do you have any particular target for the binaries in mind? The problem that I see is that the usability of such binaries would be quite limited and the selection of build environment fairly arbitrary. That's why we have decided not to provide any binary versions ourselves and leave that to packagers out there (e.g., NixOS/nixpkgs, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/virtualbox-kvm, https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/app-emulation/virtualbox-kvm).
