Yes, that was me > 10a ago. Transitioning from these scripts to ant allowed  
came with a few improvements:

 * I switched all package building to `debuild` in favor of using more
   low-level tools for `raw` packages before.

 * I was able to establish some sort of “buld upon new commit” poor man's
   local CI -- I experimented with some fully-fledged systems like Concurse CI
   and GitLab, too, but they were all too much for my local-first
   activities....

 * When resources were required from external locations (e.g. source code
   downloads), that set of scripts did not provide for any automatism in this
   regard. One of my continuous goals is to split between “my settings” and
   some re-downloadable files. It was only achieved partially back then and
   the ant-approach takes it much further :)

Still, in many ways the ant does not do much more than the scripts linked at the  
message above. If you are about to create your own scripts (which is  
probably a better idea than trying to use my scripts anyways :) ) the  
shellscripts may be easier to understand.
