First of all, I fully agree, that forked repos are undesirable. However, to the casual observer (like me), there are hardly any ressources for Xen on CentOS 7. There are some beta packages, as announced in the start if this thread, with the latest update being 4.4.2 on 4th of august. I have not yet found any git repo to check out the current Xen 4 CentOS 7 development effort - only the source rpms to the above packages could be used. Likewise, the response on the list on the announcements of the Xen on CentOS 7 beta packages was kind of mute and no further updates were given. This led me to the - apparently false - assumption, that the project kind of fell asleep. I'd be more than happy to at least test development packages and give feedback. Your statement "These RPMs are produced by Citrix, so we need to get the right" irritates me, as I was completely unaware of any "rights" from Citrix to be waited for. Anyway, I will wait for the official Xen4CentOS packages for CentOS 7 and keep my stuff out of the public to avoid useless forks.
