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 wouldnât apply cleanly and it was too 
hard for anyone to maintain. Since then, weâve been working hard making the 
code portable so that it âjust worksâ if you âtar -xvf; ./configure; makeâ and 
weâre 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, theyâll apply cleanly to the packaged source.

I hope that someone will try again to package xcp-xapi, after we hit 2.0.

HTH,
Dave
