Active development is now only being done at [1]. Please pull the latest
version from git. The scripts in the Master branch should be stable for
the most part, so that you can deploy them on systems. They also have
several bugfixes to older versions of xen-tools including full pygrub
support.

I have tested the scripts quite a bit and they seem to run fine on all
systems with a dom0 kernel newer than 2.6.21 or 2.6.22.

The issue with older kernels is a version of tar (used in debootstrap
and specifically dpkg which uses tar) that has a bug on older kernels.
This will possibly be fixed before release, but much more likely right
after release as an Ubuntu SRU.

Like i said, if your dom0 kernel is newer than 2.6.21-2.6.22 then you
should be fine. If you're running a 2.6.18 however, you will have to
wait for the bug to be fixed in SRU. See [2].

D.
