We haven't done the official .96 release yet, hence no archives on the web 
site.

What you should be doing is:

# get-ovirt-appliance -l appliance

from the top level directory you normally run ovirt.mk from.

And there is a handy target in ovirt.mk that does all of this for you.

# make update-app

update-app does update-host followed by get-ovirt-appliance -l appliance 
and create-ovirt-appliance.
