Guess that depends a lot on personal objectives, styles, and whether 
asterisk code has been modified locally. Once the reproducable build is 
operational and one has to maintain the code, reproducable builds sort 
of go out the window (eg, customer/system A has a problem, but not 
customer B through Z).

Using the Branch SVN checkout approach always provides the most up to 
date code as opposed to replicating buggy stuff via rpms.
