Would you mind to add Xen support to the libvirt package by adding this line to the configure statement in the PKGBUILD?

--with-libxl \

This would help me greatly.

Thanks in advance,
Arthur Borsboom.

Adding --with-libxl then building in a clean chroot:

checking for LIBXL... no

Due to xen which provides libxl only being in AUR.

I am working on bringing xen to [community], this bug will be stalled until then.

Would you mind to add Xen support to the libvirt package by removing this line in the PKGBUILD?

-Ddriver_libxl=disabled

See: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/blob/packages/libvirt/trunk/PKGBUILD

Motivation: right now, I have to use the libvirt-git package. I prefer to have actual builds and not depending on a git repository which _might_ build.

doesn't build without xen in the repos, this is still the case
double-check before annoying the maintainers, tyvm
