So far you are the only one who's probably even tried it. It's
generally the case that the person doing the release is going solo
unfortunately. So I'm glad you tried it. But I generally build
everything from source, snapshots certainly can't hurt and if they
help testing that's cool. Ultimately an instance of Continuum will be
the arbiter. You not being able to build something doesn't mean
anything either.

I will start in the order I built stuff i.e. the dependency order:

If it helps I wrote up the steps I used to build internal releases of
plugins (so that I can patch them until they get officially released)
