Hello xen-tools-discuss List ,

Changes & updates  done :

26-setup-kernel - many of code as been rewritten due move to centos6.5  3.10.x xen-kernel 
26-setup-kernel - mkinitrd on centos 6.5 are replaced with dracut 
90-make-fstab - tmpfs, procfs , devpts  autodeplyoed - makes more system and software to work.
27-setup-reproforge - new - reproforge  added
27-setup-pkgs-org - new pkgs.org "nux" repro aded
...

Some of pygrub issues while the update are fixed with known (below ) options 
  - our spechial thanks to Alex, some on IRC #xen past 7 weeks - 

"Bugs/unexpected feagters" seen : 
  --ide and --scsi options seems don´t work at all currect xen 4.4 with xen-tools  4.4.x + pygrub  - disk format not supported ?!?
  --disk_device=xvda explicit set was required as the pyrub seems only to boot with that  - default format seems not fit, creates an maformed client config.
  --nodhcp  are allmost ignored at 40-setup-networking 
           --> revered dhcp default" to back static -> [ ! -z "${dhcp}" ];     the "no"dhcp  ignorance caused pyboot to fail when no dhcpd exist on the xen host .

Upstream patches comes later this Year after Disussion how and what to integrate from this massive rewrite  and "Bugs/unexpected feagters" are cleaner handelt.
