+1. But I think that's hard to implement without loosing the "rebuild
every dependent package" feature. You cannot have all: The current
concept of clean builds makes perfectly sense for a distribution with
releases, but not as much for a Factory distribution.

That would not help since that stuff is not archived. That would mean:
Even if you have that number, you cannot get a system to that state
because the files are not there any more. For snapshots, we have Beta.
Factory is a moving target.

Okay, with the OBS you would have at least the source that produced the
binary build, which sometimes is sufficient.

Bernhard
