There's a tool in cooker called rpm-rebuilder, which might suite your
needs. I beleive it's used within Mandrake itself.

I've made some shellscripts myself, which rebuild the entire ditro every
week, sort the buildoutputs, etc. etc. The scripts do work, but they're
quite messy. If you want a copy I can send them over...
Since the scripts are a bit messy, I hope that I'll soon have the time
to replace my shellscripts with rpm-rebuilder...

Very true... you often see this happening within cooker, all of a sudden
many packages get "rebuilt" because of an underlying package...
Has anyone ever thought about making the dependancies within the distro
visual? That would be an interesting... --> perhaps the method to get
rid of redundant dependancies, etc..
