Hi Fabio,

  The Xen Project repositories are indeed forked from the XenServer github 
repositories. The plan is that XenServer will move over to using the new Xen 
Project codebase sometime in the next few months. There are some patches which 
will need to be forward ported first, and there are some toolstack 
compatibility corner-cases which need to be worked out.

It's already done :-) That functionality was split out of the (.NET based) 
XenServer guest agent and put into a new 'Lite' agent which is part of the 
XenIface driver package. So, if you grab the xeniface.git repo, build and 
install it then you should have clean shutdown/reboot and time-sync 
functionality.

No problem.
