I've just > found this https://bugs.debian.org/740517 for Debian. From the point of view of xapi upstream, our new focus is to be a better upstream. When the last version of xcp-xapi was packaged it needed a lot of patching to work in a debian dom0. This made it sufficiently different from the released branches on github that fixes wouldn’t apply cleanly and it was too hard for anyone to maintain. Since then, we’ve been working hard making the code portable so that it “just works” if you “tar -xvf; ./configure; make” and we’re almost finished. The next release of xapi (2.0) should be much easier to package for any Linux distro without excessive patching. Then, when we make bugfixes to release branches, they’ll apply cleanly to the packaged source. I hope that someone will try again to package xcp-xapi, after we hit 2.0.
