As long as we don't merge things we don't want to publish right now to the svnpubsub source dir by accident. > So I suggest that we keep our current local manual build and commit > until we have smart generation tasks.

Would work for me as well. Ant could even automate the staging process from sources since running Anakia should be straight forward inside buildbot.
