Le sigh. So we have to have this in for next what 6 months? :-(
We're just re-introducing code that was recently removed with 5bdcef13d135: before that, it had been there for a very long time, so six-ish more months are hardly going to make a difference.
<rant> Sure, we can try working around broken packaging, or we can be brave and just tell users to install yet another package if they want to have xl driver enabled simply because they are using broken package. It's not our bug, and we already work around plenty of other bugs for other apps/libs. </rant>
We'd have to add something like %if %{with_libxl} && 0%{?fedora} < 29 BuildRequires: xen-runtime %endif to libvirt.spec for that to work, and at that point you're just exchanging one workaround for another... Might as well go for the one that doesn't require users and CI workers to install extra packages. -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization
