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
