I want to be able to roll back if it all goes sour, how would the
following combinations work:

Basically any combination ought to work. The 2.0.x series is all binary compatible.

The -testing tree is basically bug fixes only, so using it *shouldn't* give you any problems.

Cheers,
Mark

xen 2.0.5, kernel 2.0-testing, tools 2.0.5
xen 2.0-testing, kernel 2.0-testing, tools 2.0.5

I don't want to update anything I don't have to...

Also, the standard xen build just builds a file called xen.gz. Can I
suggest that we call it something like xen-2.0.5.gz or
xen-2.0-testing.gz so that multiple versions could be installed at once?
Obviously it's pretty easy to rename the file manually myself if nobody
else thinks it's a good idea...

James
