I have pushed out the following changes into the 6rolling repository area.

opal - needed a patch in order for ekiga to build
ekiga
openafs-firstboot

- updated comps.xml that has an openafs-client group
- images/xen which is a link to images/pxeboot - This was needed for xen 
installs.

I think this will be the last minor update until next week.
I hope everyone is able to have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
