The Verdex SVN repository has not been recently updated.  In fact, the
build actually still works (I had to rebuild when I did a complete
re-install of Ubuntu 11.04 a couple months ago) but bitrot has set in.
There are some hurdles along the way which have mostly been discussed
on this mailing list.
If you get stuck and can't find any information about a particular
error, certainly post it to the mailing list.

There is also an experimental Git repo here:

Depending on what you need, it may be easier to ditch OE all together
and just use a cross-compiler (sudo apt-get install
gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi is my new favourite ;-).
