Are you talking src, binaries or both?

I've updated the script to rename the previous night's builds to
xen-2.0-install.1.tgz  the night before to .2 etc. It keeps the last
three builds.

I guess I should probably switch to using dates as snapshot identifiers,
but that requires more thought.

I was talking src, but I expect other people have different
needs(?). Both would be very handy, of course.

Excellent! Many thanks..

The above works (consistent with usual logging backups
etc (syslog et al).

The LTP guys have created one. It would be great if more people could
run it and help extend it.

Dates for the archived copies would be great, but if possible, it would
be really nice if we could keep a consistent name for the latest
snapshot.  That makes automation quite a bit simpler.
