What's the code freeze date for Fedora 18? There are some people working on 4.2 support for libvirt, so if that was working within the next month or two, could it be back-ported to the libvirt in Fedora?
The final change deadline is currently 26th November. That may not be an absolute deadline, but you have a better chance of the libvirt team accepting changes before then.

Whenever the patches land upstream I'll be happy to pull them into F18. Even if they don't show up for a few months we can always just push an F18 update after GA. Of course, sooner would be better :)

I noticed today that a patch for libvirt to work with libxl from xen 4.2 has been sent to the libvir-list https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2012-November/msg01119.html
I did a bit of testing and got the F18 libvirt to build against xen 4.2 (the patch needed some minor tweaks). I haven't tested if it actually works.

Cool! Although, changelog (and my recollection of a previous discussion about this) seems to suggest it is more about avoiding using the libxl-driver when Xen<=4.1 than other things... Maybe Jim can give us more insights about it?

Me neither, but I think I can give it a try (next week), do you have pkgs? Should I build it myself?
Thanks and Regards, Dario

Also Jim posted libvirt libxl Xen 4.2 patch V2: http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2012-11/msg01973.html
