Note that you shouldn't build and run untrusted input (the tar.gz's)

I’m afraid this documentation will get stale quickly as the normal build documentation is updated. Having multiple sources of truth regarding the recommended build process might lead to split brain scenarios and general confusion.

Also I’m not conviced that building in one long command is something we want to encourage since that will obscure exactly where in the process any build failure occurs which will lead to confused users and bad bug reports.

Please consider looking at the existing build documentation instead and see if you can make it better.

I don't really see a point of adding multiple parallel ways to build, sorry. Maintaining one per platform is enough. The drawback of putting it all in one command is that it 's harder to read, review, and to maintain.

It could make sense to host this on your own site or blog, but NACK on merging.

Exactly.

If it's going in the repo, please don't put the version here.
