xen discuss - Aug 2008 - How to upgrade xvm starting with build 97

Looks like xvm-src.tar.bz2 won''t be @
http://opensolaris.org/os/downloads/
and xvm source supposed to be obtained via 
hg clone ssh://anon@hg.opensolaris.org/hg/onnv/onnv-gate
or some other gate.
I cannot find any instructions how to build xvm packages from this repo.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, for next stupid question. As far as i see xvm-src.tar.bz2 is in place:-
http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/b97/
No problems.
ON BFU archive is abcent, however, http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/current/
does contain "on-bfu-nightly-osol-nd.i386.tar.bz2" and date is the
same 08/26
Can i use the last one to bfu SNV Dom0 and upgrade xVM via  xvm-src.tar.bz2  
archive from http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/b97/  ?
Would it be SNV build 97 ?
Cloning Xen Repos is a usual practice, looks like it''s not needed.
I can hardly believe that bfu is deprecated in favour of the onnv
project''s Mercurial repository, because it would mean that building
from source all the system is a must.

Hi Boris,
The xVM and ON gates aren''t always in sync, which is
why there is sometimes a difference of a day or so in
delivering BFU archives for ON. Please be patient,
I expect them to be available on dlc.sun.com within
the next day or so. Just don''t quote me on that :)
