Yeah; it's nice to have. It's also a headache in some situations so it
needs to be selectable.
I think, the bsys should raise up a list of deps that might need a
rebuild; A webpage with checkboxes and a go button. :-) Eventuall a
notification to the maintainer if build fails, and/or a bug#, whatever.
But if you want autorebuilds in such a way, the system needs to know how
to increase the release number and add a cl entry to the spec; Needs cvs
commit rights and so on... Maybe nothing anyone wants to be automated...
However, I'm not goin' to code this :-P
