The issue (basing a comparison on a version and the filedate) that was highlighted by Jinsong is specific to CRAN and how it now thinks it can combine versioning and rebuilds. Other (non-R) repositories rely strictly on version numbers and secondary sets of versions (for things such as partial archive rebuilds) as trusting the timestamps can indeed be "tricky".
