There's no way to pull just the API updates, though if all you want is a newer
Xend, then usually you can get away with rsyncing tools/python/xen into
/usr/lib/python on your test-box -- this is what I do on a day-to-day basis.
Sometimes you will need changes lower down in the stack, such as changes to
libxc, and in those cases you will need to use "make tools" and copy all the
libraries over yourself, and in rare cases you will need a new Xen, in which
case you can use "make xen" as well. Most of the time though, you can get
away with just copying Xend over.
You're on your own if you do this of course -- xen-unstable really means it,
and there are no guarantees of day-to-day compatibility. If you get weird
error messages, then rebuilding from scratch is always your best bet.
Cheers,
Ewan.
