Yes, you can do this on your ubuntu machine at home - for building i recommend (ab)using a Mer VMDK and apt-get install build-essential -

Most patches apply cleanly, though, you will most likely see patch failed in debian/changelog, is fairly easy to fix, just add the items from .rej without the +'s in the front and add an according version above it using dch..

Thanks for wanting to help out with this - I do this by hand every SDK release or when there's a new version out and X packages times 20 minutes does add up.

I'm looking forward to when the UI secrecy is over, so we can start pulling patches directly from source trees again like it is on stage.* with some packages..
