Pre-Build: uncompress, enter... and other after the build: Post-Build: delete sources, delete build directory, check... I know that it is repetitive, but is not to much space and it give the chance to put special pre and post instruction per package if are needed, other instruction are repetitive and they are on the book like "./configure --prefix=/usr" and the book don't keep that in "general instructions".. just a though..
