yes this is the way I use also.

I asked for automated build scripts and Michele mentioned something about
making such public, but I don't know what happened.
I wrote one big Makefile that I used to build the packages with their
dependencies, but its rather fast and dirty solution - so I prefer not to
show it :)

However you are on the right path if you stick to the base version - i.e.
you rebuild packages that are same branch that you are on. Example
14.0.5/14.0.5.
You'll probably have issues if you build 14.1.0 and run them on base 14.0.5
and you'll need to rebuild dependencies too.

I was intending to setup repo for 14.1 (DEVELOPMENT), but did not find time
so far to read the howto. However it might be that after I migrate my build
machine I could also find some time to do this around or after Christmas.
I've been using this for almost an year now without problems.
