Then again I didn't see any new releases of software on opendarwin.org relating to 10.4.4 yet :). I know the guy at apple who used to make these releases though and he's bee= n working on a cool build system for building the whole system from the tarre= d snapshot releases from time to time. I used to test this stuff for him. It will take interested people with actual time to do the Xen port of course. I'm not sure how much work a Xen host port is compared to a Xen guest though.
