You can make many choices :-) But what I do, and seems easiest, is to
have a checkout of the full src and xsrc, along the branch I am running
so I can update, and then to adjust kernel config, have various other
not-ready-for-committing changes, etc., and a full build.sh and then I
build and install that.


If your base sets are from the official release, you could just unpack
the x sets.
