How do you find a rev of OE that will build?

How does one find a rev of OE that builds?

I've been following the GettingStarted page trying to build
task-bask for about a week now, and I always hit errors due to
failed patches.  Here's the error du jour after doing a
pull/update about a half hour ago:

I updated today and tried again.  No joy.  python-native_2.5.1
still fails when applying patches with the same error.

Is there a way to tell bitbake to use an older version of the
package -- presuming there are older versions that will build?

Are packages in the .dev branch normally unbuildable for
extended periods of time?  Should I not be trying to build
using the .dev branch?

  No, anything on critical path to build a common embedded system
image can't be broken and unnoticed for long. I rebuilt python-native
for you:

NOTE: package python-native-2.5.1-ml1: task do_patch: started
NOTE: Applying patch 'bindir-libdir.patch'
NOTE: Applying patch 'cross-distutils.patch'
NOTE: Applying patch 'dont-modify-shebang-line.patch'
NOTE: Applying patch 'default-is-optimized.patch'
NOTE: package python-native-2.5.1-ml1: task do_patch: completed

      Anyway, as you see, it's not some dark magic failing, but merely
a patch application. So, why don't you look closer and see what
corrupts the data - your tar, a quilt built on your system, or your
kernel? ;-) And the best place to continue this is the bugtracker.

OK.  It just seems odd that 100+ other packages would build
fine, but when one particular package fails it's not the
package that's suspect but the tools that work fine for 100+
other OE packages and and entire Gentoo system build.
