There is also the "ratt - Rebuild All The Things" tool written by Michael Stapelberg, originally for the Debian Go Packaging Team, but works on any other non-Go packages! I am now trying it on libwebp 1.2.4-1 which I uploaded a while ago (which I didn't test with ratt back then but thankfully didn't break anything), and it is running great on my local machine! "apt install ratt", and optionally "apt install dose-extra" too if it didn't get installed, for better reverse-dependency checking (i.e. more comprehensive list of packages to test rebuild). Cheers, Anthony
