Hy,

I am maintening the firt mentionned repo. I personnaly don't use xen but 
I planned to include xen support for the next libvirt release and I had 
already rebuilt the last xen packages from Virt SIG for this purpose. I 
have just rebuilt the current libvirt with xen and libxsl enabled.

Best regards,
