As someone asked I'm opening this thread mostly for reference and for making the ROM visible, for questions and, why not, future updates 
I'm not a developer, I'm just an Android enthusiast compiling from source.
Big thanks to our maintainers @gekkehenkie11 and @slayher, without all their work we wouldn't have any version of CyanogenMod on our Note 4s :good:
Here you go!
That's my personal CyanogenMod build based on latest CyanogenMod 12.1 (Android 5.1) code, from the 'cm-12.1' branch.
Everything is working (apparently) fine, just make sure to do a full wipe before flashing and, of course, using a 5.1 Gapps package.
I'll try providing regular updates till the official nightlies switch to the new branch.
Please report bugs and impressions about the ROM, it can be useful for other users interested in this ROM too.
Link to the folder with the ROM and MD5 checksum (download and put in the same folder as the ROM and recovery will check package integrity before flashing).
NOTE: LATEST RELEASE IS NOW ON MEGA:
Download folder on MEGA (mega.co.nz)
THIS IS THE FOLDER WHERE I USED TO PUBLISH BEFORE:
Download folder on Dev-Host (d-h.st)
By the way, I use these Gapps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2997368
Obviously you can use the Gapps from the Gapps provider you prefer, with the only restriction they need to be SPECIFICALLY for 5.1 (really, they changed the position of a few packages with the upgrade from 5.0.x so there's need of new scripts, or you'll break most apps).
Here you can find CyanogenMod changelog (changes to source code pushed by developers):
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/status:merged+branch:cm-12.1,n,z
- Flash the ROM package
- Flash the Gapps for Android 5.1 package(s)
- Reboot and enjoy!
- Caches wipe (cache & dalvik cache)
- Flash the ROM package
- (facoltative, depending if you previously installed Gapps and they had backup script) Flash the Gapps for Android 5.1 package(s)
- Reboot and enjoy!
If you're coming from cm-12.0 or even cm-11.0 you can try to do a dirty flash (not sure if it will work, CyanogenMod stated it's possible, anyway do a backup before trying!):
- Caches wipe + system wipe (cache, dalvik cache, system)
- Flash the ROM package
- (make sure you wiped system and downloaded new Gapps) Flash the Gapps for Android 5.1 package(s)
- Reboot and enjoy!
