One feature of open build service that people building derivative distros use is that packages will use other packages in the same project / repo for builds. So if all the custom packages you are using on your machine are in the same project then it will use them for builds. This gives you other advantages as well in that if you update one of the libraries it will automatically rebuild all the packages that depend on it.
There is no such project. The packages are some obsolete TW snapshot.
--- ^^^ Yep! Disk crash = I lost the TW snapshots things were built against, as it was on my "downloaded from the Internet" disk which wasn't backed up, as I thought I could always download it again and go from there.
And building on Leap may or may not work - I think the new rpm spec file uses features of the new rpm so it is not buildable with old rpm.
^^yup
I suppose that at some point in the history of the rpm package it contained the new sources and was buildable with old rpm but you need to find that, rebuild with old rpm, and then you can install the current one. Not exactly nice experience. And it's quite possible that such sources were only present in some bootstrap project and locating them in OBS is pretty much impossible.
---- And that's why I said that the sources for building the current packages were no longer included. You can't build the current binaries unless you have some unknown set of binaries that came from some unknown set of sources that was posted for some number of days, then gone.

In case you need/want to dup from something older, use the DVD/NET iso and do an offline upgrade (i.e. not on the running system).
--- Right...a complete wipe of a working system that can't afford a complete wipe because nothing in opensuse upgrades package configs reliably, let alone if one uses an offline upgrade (install new packages over old). The sources for the in binaries in TW now, can't be built on user systems unless they maintained the TW-treadmill every day. If your system goes out, standard or not, suse doesn't support upgrades. If there was an archive of all the TW binaries from when I got cut off, to today, it would be doable, though very unpleasant. It's not that I didn't have a standard system, but that TW doesn't supply the intermediate upgrade-bits past a few day expiration limit. I.e. subject says it -- can't rebuild from sources because I can't download readable rpm binaries that contain the build tools. (Thus I'm rehauling my download stuff to handle leaping)
