Hi Nico,

Wei, the OP, is a member of the Xen core dev team, and was just providing an 
experience report on building Xen from source on RHEL 7 to assist anyone who 
was interested in packaging it for RHEL/CentOS 7. I’m replying for him because 
since KB forwarded the original message to the list himself, I assume that Wei 
isn’t subscribed.

Thanks to both of you for your reports on building Xen from F19 and Rawhide!

Mike
