How about adding one more dimension in the catalog: time. Then
mirror.opencsw.org:/opencsw/ could look like this:

   current/
   stable/
   testing/   manually build packages restructured from /home/testing
   hudson/
     REV=2008.12.12/
       sparc/
         5.8/
           /<package> - might be older

That means /home/hudson/packages holds all packages build by hudson in a
flat structure and then a catalog-build-script makes hudson-subdirs for
each day putting the packages in it. If a package is not rebuild on that
day the latest version is used. Sounds good?

Best regards
