[Xen-API] Xapi on RHEL6

[Muriel <mucawhite@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
I'm trying to build xapi on a rhel6 clone (64bit).
I'm a little confused about which sources use.

Following the build.sh file on xapi-autobuilder for debian it seems
that i can use this https://github.com/xen-org/ repo for xapi and
jonludlam repo for blktap.
As perhaps you've seen on xen-users mailing lists, the "jonludlam blktap" does
not compile on amd64.

Now, for blktap, I'm using the repository recommended by Daniel
Stodden, but I would not it was too up to date than the rest of the
code.
Porting the patch for 64bit is a long job and I do not have much
time.. but if necessary I could do it. (I've seen in broad terms what
I should change.... I hope).

I have tried to compile xen-api and xen-api-libs with the ocaml of the
redhat6.. without success. I think that the code is too tied to ocaml
3.12, so now
i'm rebuilding the ocaml package from
http://downloads.xen.org/XCP/xcp-unstable-repo/.

You can advise me which source to use for the various packages to make
a good xapi-cocktail :)?

I was thinking to use:
kernel 2.6.32.39
xen (4.1.1? 3.4?) from official release;
blktap from stodden?
xapi and xapi-libs from github.com/xen-org/?

A stable system is the goal but, at this moment, I only need that it
works for some test.

I hope someone can help me.
