Arch Linux is also working on providing tools so our users can download a package, point a script at it and have the package recreated with all the info provided in .BUILDINFO. This includes the source location and a list of packages present on the system when the package was created. We are a couple of steps away from actually providing this, but we will hopefully get there soon enough.
