I know. I save me as many versions as possible during a release just as a fall back.

I did not do this before and got hit several times when I believed that all I need is the installation of a small program.

Anyway, the team knows the version of the tree used for the release they are working on. Making this ports tree easily available could help to overcome some problems.
