So far so good. The openSUSE target for "distribute" generates everything 
needed to run osc build successfully with the default package template for a 
number of packages. Others either need specific templates or I need to 
generate a proper file listing from the xml. Both would work.

Now I need to extract the latest section of history from the xml file.

Which leads me to the point: I've been following a few layers of delegation 
and injection but somehow got lost. I figured I need to instanciate a 
Pear_Package_Xml object for the package file but I did not succeed so far, 
starting from Components_Component_Source.

Data is well encapsulated and I didn't find a public method which returned me 
either the relative path to the XML or the Pear_Package_Xml instance. Probably 
there is none because of YAGNI. I'll get back at this one another day but any 
hints are welcome.
