[1] DTD: OK.
[2] Tarball: I appreciate the upstream hosting issue. It still looks odd, though. The srpm contains vhostmd-vhostmd-0.3.tar.gz (note the repeated vhostmd-). make dist on the source creates the expected vhostmd-0.3.tar.gz. Is this intentional?
Yeah, this is all fscked up. The upstream issue is being discussed here:
http://lists.opensuse.org/vhostmd/2009-10/msg00007.html
Also, there are no tags in the git repo, but make dist on what appears to be the release commit creates a tarball with a different md5, at least on my box.
Ditto above. It generates a new tarball each time :-(
[3] Unfortunately this now fails to build on ppc:

You may need some additional configure magic when xen-devel isn't available.
OK I get this now. It's actually a feature of vhostmd that I wasn't aware of up to now. As well as using the metrics disk to export data, it can also export it through xenstore.
Unfortunately the current code doesn't allow that to be configured out at compile time (and thus always requires the Xenstore client library to be available).
I think the best thing here is to add back the ExclusiveArch temporarily until I can get it fixed upstream.
