Maybe you can reuse the old package.
Check the dependencies, it is possible that there has been no changes in
them.
If there has been, take a look to applications' changelogs, to see if the
new versions are compatible with the existing dependencies.
As you might know, there is a more or less standard versioning scheme
named semantic versioning (it is quite easy to understand even for a
non-native english user like me. You can find it's description here:
http://semver.org/). If dependencies uses it, you will be able to check
compatibility quite quickly: if major number did not changed, then you are
fine.
Of course, since you are willing to use this tool on a production server,
I strongly encourage you to take a look into changelogs and/or ask to
their developers to ensure nothing should be broken.
