CentOS virt - Dec 2015 - CentOS 7 libvirt-1.3.0-1 coming to virt-xen buildlogs

Centos 7.2 has updated its version of libvirt to 1.2.17, which ends up
getting installed in preference to the previous virt-xen libvirt
package (1.2.15).

I've merged in the most recent Fedora libvirt package, 1.3.0, smoked
tested it, and pushed it to buildlogs, which can be accessed by adding
--enablerepo=centos-virt-xen-testing (after installing the CentOS 7
centos-release-xen package).  Please test and let me know if there are
any problems.

Hi,

There is a strange issue in the CentOS 7.2 libvirtd 1.2.17 service.
If there is a symlink in the "/etc/libvirt/qemu/autostart/" which is
created
before the libvirtd service is started, libvirtd wont start. 
Deleting the symlink from the autostart folder, then starting the libvirtd
service works.
Is this a know issue ? 

We have found this on 4-5 servers.

Regards,
Pulkit Gupta

It's not very polite to change the topic like this -- if you have a
question about a new topic, you should start a new thread. :-)

It's also a bit counterproductive, because someone who knows the
answer to your question may not even look at this thread, since the
subject indicates that it's about virt-xen libvirt 1.3.0, rather than
about RHEL's libvirt 1.2.17 (which is what you're asking about).

Unfortunately I don't know the answer to your question, and it's a bit
out of my remit to look into it.  You might try posting again with a
more appropriate subject line and see if anyone else can help you.

Peace,
