build the actual SliTaz rolling entirely from sources

Hi

a friendly search engine did led me to SliTaz. I did found 2 introductions about SliTaz from scratch but it seems not to be exactly what I am looking for: For divers reasons I would like to try to compile my most ACTUAL SliTaz, probably Rolling (?), completely from source and continue to actualize it using the same way.

I suppose that the second information concerning SliTaz from scratch would not updated any more and can't be used to compile the most actual system.

a/ Is that EASILY possible?

b/ how to accede to the sources and make them accessible for this job?

c/ are tools for this kind of installation available:

c1/ tool chains to make the job(s)?

c2/ tools chains about the choice of package to produce a first base allowing to make more and continue with it?

d/ I have 3 PC's: 2 DELL Optiplex SX280 with Intel Pentium and the Intel chips, both with more than 1,5 GB RAM and 1 laptop ACER emachines AMD64 2 GB RAM, all with more than 150 MB HD, and did have only on one success installing the most actual SliTaz rolling from http://mirror.slitaz.org . Can I compile the 64 bit system on one of the both PC's with Pentium and copy the chroot after that on the target laptop?

Kind regards

Re: build the actual SliTaz rolling entirely from sources

note: I did discover the "Community groups" at the SliTaz forum. As SliTaz is one of the rare distros offering facilities to be build from scratch, I suppose that a Community Build your SliTaz entirely from sources could be very useful and make SliTaz more attractive? What is to do to create such a community?
