Yes but - having the sources and the package build specification, known to work VIPM 2017, as well as several LV versions installed, can a package be built with 2014-linux?
Specifically I'm thinking at this package. I don't think it contains any code which needs the very latest LV features, in fact it is provided for LV2015. If I try to load its .vipb in VIPM 2014-linux, I just get "VI Package Builder was unable to open the build spec due to an error". Perhaps something offending in this .vipm which could be patched at hand?
