By providing separate repos per TW snapshot these issues can be alleviated since new package installs will have been built using the same deps and build environment the user is currently running.
That is not necessarily true. A new zypper often requires a new libzypp for building, therefore the new zypper is almost *never* built with the deps the user has.
The comment was in regards to installing new packages when sitting on an older snapshot. Like installing *-debuginfo packages which can be for a newer version of the package that is installed. This would indeed be solved by providing snapshot repos. The build process in general will remain unchanged. -- Jimmy
