That's quick.

Is it possible to upgrade a production server in custom build yet?

Yes that is possible.

OK thanks, but I found some things that people might want to consider before trying to update on production server!
so I changed php1_release=5.5 to php1_release=7.0
and built php and apache, however apache service would not start
so I changed mod_ruid2=yes to mod_ruid2=no - I guess its not supported in php 7?
and built php and apache again, however websites were blank
so i tried ./build ioncube
There is no ionCube loader available for PHP 7.0. - ah bugger!
so now going to revert back to php 5.5...
