libvirt users - May 2016 - More recent libvirt builds for CentOS 7

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.

Cheers,
Le

I think you should either contact the owners of those libvirt repos, or
contact the centos virt sig. I know if anyone on these lists is directly
involved with those repos
