For Xen, I would like to propose following xe-guest version options...
I could not locate the version 5.6.0-595 xe-guest RPMs we currently use online.
xe-guest-utilities-6.0.2-756.i386.rpm 15.2 kB 5/17/12 8:00:00 PM
xe-guest-utilities-6.1.0-1033.i386.rpm 15.4 kB 11/21/12 8:47:00 AM
xe-guest-utilities-xenstore-6.0.2-756.i386.rpm 46.2 kB 5/17/12 8:00:00 PM
xe-guest-utilities-xenstore-6.1.0-1033.i386.rpm 46.4 kB 11/21/12 8:47:00 AM
I will also provide an option for a user to point to his own version of
xe-guest utilities rpms. This will give them and ability to roll their own Xen
tool utils.
Regards
ilya

Ok.. so we are getting closer.
We got KVM out of the way :)
I cant find the official yum/rpm repo for XE tools - if there is such - please
let me know.
I would like to make flexible - such that you are not bound to specific version
as you rebuild each time.
I did find something from GoDaddy, but I'm hoping for something more official.

For KVM, there is no vm guest tools. For xenserver, seems it needs
xe-guest-utilities_5.6.0-595_i386.deb?
