Thanks Jon,
it worked, I was able to build all the packages for xenserver on CentOS 6.6
final version.

Here is the package list:
https://gist.github.com/gautammaloo/7616cccbe8f5c85c196e

I was wondering what packages would be necessary to use Xen with xapi, I
already have xen with xl installed. Could we have a package like
http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/xcp-xe with which we can have  xenserver
running on CentOS, just by switching toolstack from xl to xapi.

Best regards,
Gautam Malu
