Hello list,
is there a way to get more recent libvirt builds for CentOS 7 that include support for the xl (modern Xen) toolstack?
I tried to build libvirt from the SRPM, which succeeded, however, without the mentioned Xen parts. I have also found two repos from people who provide upstream libvirt builds for CentOS 7, again, without the Xen parts.
- https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jmliger/virt7-upstream/ and
- https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:aevseev/libvirt
Within the CentOS virtualization SIG builds for Xen there is a 1.3.x build of libvirt that includes support for the modern Xen toolstack. Would it be possible to inline this into the upstream to enable building it with Xen features on CentOS 7 such that the aforementioned people's RPMs would contain it?
I appreciate any enlightment on the topic.
I think you should either contact the owners of those libvirt repos, or contact the centos virt sig. I don't know if anyone on these lists is directly involved with those repos

Hello list,
I emailed the libvirt-users list to see if there would be a way to get more recent libvirt builds into my CentOS 7 + VIRT SIG/Xen packages.
Here's what Cole Robinson from RedHat replied on that matter. Also the initial email.
I'd appreciate your feedback on this. The more recent libvirt builds appear to include quite some improvements especially for the libxl parts.
Best regards, Le
