Usually it is ok to build a trunk, we do not do anything extra special for releases other then some basic sanity testing and cut an svn tag. (we run the full unit tests every commit). The only time this advice is not true is if there are some metastore changes, however the scripts to handle the upgrades are usually added with the changes. (So do not just blindly take upgrade advice without trying it in staging first and backing up your metastore)
