Well I tried building the 1.0.8.19 version, but rather predictably it bootloops, guess it wasn't commited to github for the same reason, or I did something wrong, going to try again though, or probably try 1.0.7.16 instead.

Yeah, I was stuck there too with EA1,

The building finished, but does not boot. Next thing is to figure out what I did wrong... Or what do I have to fix to make it boot.

SSH is working over USB, but I have no idea what the default password is :D

Back to android it is until I figure out what to do next.

Did you follow my link for the Nexus 5 instructions, I believe certain bits of Chapters 3,4, and 5 are different for our device/CM11.

Have you tried comparing it to the one version that does boot on page 6?

Yes and no. I used only some info from that guide. I wonder if lipstick crashing can cause this issue? I might just have to try out those fixes.
Edit: I added the first workaround for lipstick crashing. Let's see what happens when the build is ready. I should also read through the hole documentation in case there is a guide on what to do in this situation.

Edit2: No difference. I shouldn't have missed anything. I wish I had some kind of logs to hint me. I have to take a better look at the HADK tomorrow

I noticed that when entering the command "ubu-chroot -r /parentroot/$MER_ROOT/sdks/ubuntu" it said unknown ubuntu version or something.
Using an older version of ubuntu solved this for me. At 4.4.1 you should enter the following:

Code: 
TARBALL=ubuntu-quantal-android-rootfs.tar.bz2 
curl -O http://img.merproject.org/images/mer-hybris/ubu/$TARBALL
UBUNTU_CHROOT=/parentroot/$MER_ROOT/sdks/ubuntu
sudo mkdir -p $UBUNTU_CHROOT
sudo tar --numeric-owner -xvjf $TARBALL -C $UBUNTU_CHROOT

I think this problem can also be solved by updateing the ubu-chroot script, so it will accept the trusty version of ubuntu.

There are 3 ways around this issue. First is the one you pointed out.
Second is modifying sdks/ubuntu/etc/debian_version to say wheezy
Third option is to update the script to accept the newer version.

I personally went with the second option, as it is the easiest one, and allows me to use trusty instead of quantal.

I tried using Quantal. It is a bad idea.
It is lacking build-essential and packages are no langer available in the official repositories.

By editing /etc/apt/sources.list and changing quantal to precise on the 2 lines you can download packages again. You can install all required tools by using this command:

Code: 
sudo apt-get install git gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential \
  zip curl libc6-dev libncurses5-dev:i386 x11proto-core-dev \
  libx11-dev:i386 libreadline6-dev:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 \
  libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos \
  python-markdown libxml2-utils xsltproc zlib1g-dev:i386

    Sailfishos for Nexus 5

    I was wondering why there is no flashable sailfishos build for our Nexus 5, even if everything required to build it is available at github.com/siteshwar.
    So I gave it a shot myself and now sharing the result with anyone who wants to play a bit with sailfishos on Nexus 5.

    I havent tested everything but you can take a look here to see what should be working: wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris

    * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

    To get sailfishos on your Nexus 5 follow the steps (thats what i did today, btw. I am using multirom TWRP):

    You CAN NOT use this as secondary rom with multirom!

    1. Download cyanogenmod11 nighly for Nexus5 (download.cyanogenmod.org) and the sailfishos-hammerhead-release-1.0.5.16.zip
    (form the link in this post) and copy it to your Nexus5.
    2. Backup EVERYTHING you need after you are done playing with sailfishos. Internal storage should stay untouched but you never know!
    3. Boot into recovery and format everything except internal storage.
    4. Flash the cyanogenmod11 image and then the sailfishos build in the same way ("on top of it").
    5. Reboot your device and it should boot to sailfishos.

    To return to android again format everything except the internel storage and restore your Backup.
    Sailfishos will still be in "/data/.stowaways" so delete this folder with the file manager from TWRP.

    Taken with the crappy camera in the Xperia Arc S because my Note 3 was dead after a battery test and I can't use the Nexus 5 to take pictures of itself obviously lol.

    "Lockscreen":
    Note that passcode is broken (when you try setting it up and finish doing so it'll never save/stick), "wallpaper" isn't cropped right (you can't actually set one, you select a color theme and it changes everything based on that), and text at the bottom is off the screen, on the left it should be "97%" (battery) and on the right, "4G" (connectivity). Edit: Not sure if fixed since I haven't tried building/flashing recently.

    Swiping up from the "lockscreen" gets you to your homescreen which shows recent apps as well as the first row of the app drawer:

    Can't wait to try the port. Been really wanting to create a theme for this UI on android but was waiting for official screen shots or something. Whatcha guys think? Of course its got a long way to catch up to Android, if it even can. Just neat to try out. :)
