On Debian 6.0, I am able to build the CouchDB source with the instructions given at https://github.com/jhs/build-couchdb.
After making a minor change to couchdb/src/couchdb/couch_db_updater.erl, and rerunning rake, the changes are not rebuilt.
How is CouchDB rebuilt using build-couchdb?
the new official Build CouchDB location is https://github.com/iriscouch/build-couchdb. You will find an updated version there.
You are right, Build CouchDB loves to wipe out your changes and build from scratch a lot!
I have instructions about how I work at https://github.com/iriscouch/browserid_couchdb. Look in the README in the “Development” section. Basically you check out build-couchdb and then a different checkout of the regular CouchDB code.
