A question with a rather unsatisfactory answer I'm afraid.

I wouldn't recommend 2.0.8 - both due to its age and some rather
unpleasant bugs and memory leaks it contained.

But I also wouldn't recommend the latest snapshot either as the lrmd
is in a rather sorry state.

The link posted by Sam is probably the best bet for pre-built
packages.  Otherwise, if one is comfortable with building from
scratch, I would use:

    http://hg.linux-ha.org/dev/archive/SLE10-SP1.tar.bz2

which is what will be going into SLES10, SP1 and was the subject of a
respectable amount of testing.
