The links to 0.8.0 haven't been added at the above URL.
I found Fedora _15_ rpms on fedorapeople which installed fine on F16.

There seems to be some issue with error timeouts on this version.
I first tried to create an image without enough free space:

oz-install -t 50000 -u -d3 -x blah.xml /var/lib/pacemaker-cloud/jeos/F16-x86_64-jeos.tdl
This hung at "cleaning up" phase _forever_. strace says hung at:
    sendto(14, "var/lib/oz/isocontent/F16-x86_64"..., 1585278, 0, NULL, 0^C <unfinished ...>
Ctrl-c unlocked after which got:
    94.60% done, estimate finish Fri Jan 13 18:52:46 2012
    genisoimage: No space left on device. cannot fwrite 32768*1

So after freeing up enough space I tried again and got farther.
However this also hung forever at the "Unmounting all" stage.
This only happens if "customizing image", and only with SELinux on.
strace says: recvfrom(14,...
Anyway apart from the SELinux issue, I got out of the infinite wait with
Ctrl-C and it then proceeded to timeout as expected.
    File "/usr/bin/oz-install", line 162, in <module>
        guest.customize(libvirt_xml)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/oz/RedHat.py", line 1169, in customize
        return self._internal_customize(libvirt_xml, False)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/oz/RedHat.py", line 1150, in _internal_customize
        guestaddr = self._wait_for_guest_boot(libvirt_dom)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/oz/Guest.py", line 1017, in _wait_for_guest_boot
        raise oz.OzException.OzException("Timed out waiting for guest to boot")
    oz.OzException.OzException: Timed out waiting for guest to boot

cheers,
Pádraig.
