What in this process could be done "automatically"? If you mean "automated", there is nothing out there right now that I know of that would enable this workflow out of the box, but it doesn't seem like something that hard or impossible to script. You'd just want to have a local mirror of the packages, do an -Sy or equivalent on a box which would give you the repos at a state in time, test that state, and then serve those versions of the databases in-house once you verified them. -Dan
