OK, the RPMS I am going to release are now in:

http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/xen4-test/

I am going to roll those into the main xen4 repo after some testing ..
provide any feedback to this thread.

With no negative feedback, this will likely go live tomorrow or Thursday
if it works for the people who test it.

Johnny: I tested the following:

from http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/xen4-test/
	- kernel-3.10.63-11.el6.centos.alt.x86_64.rpm
	- python-virtinst-0.600.0-25.el6.centos.alt.noarch.rpm

And they worked OK, no problems found!

I'll try to get the latest Xen 4.2.5-38 and libvirt 0.10.2.8-9 rpms tested
soon aswell.

I upgraded my current xen4centos test box with all the applicable
packages in the link above and all my Xen VMs still start and run correctly.

Also Xen 4.2.5-38 rpms and libvirt 0.10.2.8-9 rpms worked OK for me!

No problems found.
