Build knative from source

[prasha6]

Hello,

I would like to build knative from source files for my project. However, I don't see any makefile or build.go or any instructions on how to do it ?

Some of the steps I tried were to use the hack/release.sh to generate the yaml files. But, again I am not certain if applying the generated yaml files produced by release.sh is sufficient for a complete/successful installation of knative. Also, I noticed, these YAML files reference to gcr.io for container images. I would like to build these container images from source as well, because the kubernetes setup I have wouldn't have access to internet.

In Summary:

1. What are the minimum necessary YAML files needed for a successful deployment of knative-serving.
2. These YAML files references to container images for different components such as activator, autoscaling, etc..How do I build these container images from source files ?

I would appreciate any help from the community. For context, I am looking into knative to support scale down to zero in my system. Thank you !
