I hacked around that (to wget the 1.0.0 version of the file). 2) Building blktap2 complains about a missing "uuid/uuid.h". I did install the uuid and uuid-devel packages and there IS a /usr/include/uuid.h but no /usr/include/uuid/uuid.h. I found I also needed to install libuuid-devel (which didn't get checked in advance apparently, just uuid-devel and uuid I think). 3) Missing texinfo package stops the build before it successfully completes. Can this be check'ed in advance? Since I haven't built xen-devel in a long time, I don't know if these are recent problems with tip or old problems that don't show up on [Debian and whatever other envs other developers are using] but do show up on EL6. So I thought I'd report them.
