That's the whole purpose of HooRex; it outputs a list of packages which

HooRex outputs its list of dependents in build order and these days I just
rebuild/reinstall them all (well, those that I'm interested in). I don't
bother wondering about which dependent packages may or may not be affected
by some update - sometimes it's obvious, sometimes not. It seems tedious
to do all that rebuilding but it's just a matter of feeding the list to
your favourite package builder. I prefer to invest that time once a week
rather than having something in the system go haywire later on.
Chris,
I've used hoorex in the past but not regularly. Thanks very much for the
reminder that I should make a practice of regularly applying it.
Best regards,
Rich
