Is the right way?

Once I shut the yum groupinstall Xen.

I see that is using xen 3.0.x from base not the gitco, check:

Virtualization-en-US                                     noarch
                       5.8-1.el5.centos
    base                                         6.8 M
 gnome-applet-vm                                          i386
                        0.1.2-1.el5
     base                                          76 k
 kernel-xen                                               i686
                        2.6.18-308.8.2.el5
     updates                                       21 M
 libvirt                                                  i386
                        0.8.2-25.el5
     base                                         3.0 M
 virt-manager                                             i386
                        0.6.1-16.el5
     base                                         1.6 M
 virt-viewer                                              i386
                        0.0.2-3.el5
     base                                          25 k
 virt-who                                                 noarch
                        0.5-5.el5
     base                                          44 k
 xen                                                      i386
                        3.0.3-135.el5_8.2
     updates                                      1.9 M

the only package that is using from gitco is:

 python-virtinst                                          noarch
                        0.500.0-1.el5
     gitco-xen3.4.4                               475 k

 This is not right, see my other server running gitco:


xen.x86_64                          3.4.3-5.el5                        installed
xen-libs.i386                       3.0.3-132.el5                      installed
xen-libs.x86_64                     3.4.3-5.el5                        installed

 What u think?
