If it were me I would subscribe to the commit email mailing list
(assuming there is one, can set up one if there is not) then have it
automatically fetch and build whenever a new commit is pushed.  Then
things would always be automatically built.  And then additionally
have a periodic build regardless to catch up with any OS upgrades.
This would reduce the need for manual button pushing somewhat.

I am not sure how to do this.  Which literally means that I myself
don't know how to do this.  But if other people had ideas then I am
sure something could be worked out.
