I'd prefer to have patches committed to svn, prior to upload, then build
from svn (using svn-buildpackage for example). I usually build each
commit separately before committing it, then once I want to upload to
mentors, build from a clean checkout. But I understand that some times
one wants to go fast, however this could lead to missing tags.

I have a sparc station at home. I did not boot it for ages and I need to
update it, but if really required I could do it.
