I agree though that the possibility of emergency-building a package tweak with the GAR version that was used to build the previous package revision is something that sounds helpful. Dago, could we start to integrate the GAR URL & revision that's used for building a package in pkginfo? I remember that we had the discussion previously and OPENCSW_REPOSITORY was mentioned. The used GAR revision isn't necessarily the same though.
