I could add something I suppose. The ctan page
https://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek
does document that you just run plain tex on the dtx file so

tex ifpdf.dtx



If you want to build everything then the script that I reverse
engineered to build a distribution when we
started this ho-tex github is available as:

https://github.com/ho-tex/oberdiek/blob/master/mkctan


getting the Lua parts and other dependencies in place is a bit tricky
for some packages:-)
