Hi,
I have written a couple of script that other here might find useful.

The rebuildorder script is my first "real" python script so it could
probably be improved. If people think that these would be useful to have
somewhere, I can tidy them up a put them in a git repo somewhere.
I'd say stick them in the devtools repo. This looks to be a little
better than the 'lddd' script in there already. Would you mind doing a
once-over to see if lddd does anything this script does not?
This rebuildlist script has a different goal than lddd. It looks for
packages that will need a rebuild for a given library soname bump. Lddd
checks for packages that are linked to any missing libraries. So one is
a library specific pre-rebuild tool and one is a more general system
checking tool.
I'm looking at how I can improve the rebuildlist script, as even though
it is more specific that lddd it takes longer to run. I think that this
is because lddd restricts the directories for the files it test. I'm
looking for a way to do that without getting (too many) false
negatives. It also only scans packages on your computer so will miss
(many) needed rebuilds. Idea welcome.
