Can I request that you include something in the release number to indicate
that these are XenSource provided RPMs - just using 'fc8' will lead to
confusion with the base Fedora provide RPMs. Either add 'xs' after the
initial release digit, or tag it on after the %dist tag, eg one of

    xen-3.1.9-0xs.fc8.i386.rpm
    xen-3.1.9-0.fc8.xs1.i386.rpm

This ensures that if we get Bug reports it'll be clear which RPMs are being
used.

Regards,
Dan.
