Sorry Mark,

Are you talking about updating the port at cvs?? Well, I assume there
shouldn't be any kind of problem as far as mentioned tests succeed
but perhaps you could ask it at xen community mailing lists too... I
thought you were basically talking about upgrading the version of you're
port with cvsup... and that newer versions to be available now in cvs
for the port... just that... anyway... I think that said tests would be
enough for seeing if it works... but (because of talking about upgrading
in cvs machines the port version) it should be tested minimally against
last Xen 3, actual Xen 4 systems

Hi, 

What exactly you need doing?. I explain... Basically Xen-tools are used for 
writting to Xenstore database through Xenstored at dom0. If you execute a write 
and a read for the records of a concretely vm and from it (and same test from 
dom0 for the vm records) and changes are seen from the own vm and from dom0 
with they're Xen-tools nothing should be worring at all. Apart from this they 
don't do nothing else... Unless nothing significant I remember now... The 
important part is the kernel related one.

So if you administer you're FreeBSD machine as should (update, use it properly 
and so...) nothing should happen if previous test indicated has succeded. 
Remember you can always backup you're actual Xentools with a pkg_create -Rb 
nameofxentoolsport before performing the upgrade.
