Hi Guillaume,

The direct rebuild flag works different from the "cron job". The cron
job rebuilds packages that became uninstallable. The direct rebuild
rebuilds all direct dependencies of a changed package, which is
usually significantly more. Furthermore it is the "cron job" is the
same method that openSUSE Factory works.

I agree with you that the "uninstallable rebuild" flag should be
implemented in OBS, but it is not.

build-compare is throwing away build results if they were determined
to "not matter". Which means the build power is already wasted.

build-compare reduces download/update time for someone using zypper up
/ dup to keep his system fresh, it does not reduce the number of
rebuilds in our "local" build mode.
