In our case, we kinda mitigate that by adding the debian package inside
the systemvm.iso file, and modifying the firstboot script to add a dkpg
command. When a VR or SSVM are brought up, the deb automatically
installs with the proper version we are using at that moment. If we ever
change the XS version, we will need to update on a case by case basis
until we standardized the entire DC. Which is not optimal.
It's probably not the right way of doing it, but there might be a way of
figuring out the version of Xen where the VM will be launched, and then
dynamically install the appropriate xentools.

Hi,
During the CCCEU conference, I’ve been in some discussions with few people on
whether we should install/bundle xenserver tools (and vmware tools and/or
virtio-modules).
I think we can easily do this, but let’s discuss the following;
- Which version of xs-tools etc. we should install? For the build system, is a
publicly available source (iso etc)?
- Will installing these tools cause any issue?
- If we install all these tools on a single template, could that cause any
issue?
