To get more help, the dev mailing list is a better place to go :)

People actually read the mailing list a lot more than a particular bug.

For the particular problem, may be it's worthy of trying:

cd loroot/cli_ure;
build;
build --deliver

Normally, the mk file should be in solver/unxlngi6.pro/bin/cliureversion.mk
after delivery. After which continue to "make" in loroot.

Generally it should be ok, but it depends on which commit was rollbacked. The
build system updated from time to time, so maybe (not sure) you need some
trivial tune-up to make things work with a pretty old code base. Any way it is
the best to try it out and raise up particular error msg when it doesn't work.

It depends on your preference, generally I feel popular Linux distros are
easier since they are used by most developers.

Best wishes,
