Right now the build master setup only builds packages from new/changed
recipes. This can easily be changed to "build new/changed recipes and
everything that depends on them" which would ensure that a new version
of a dependency doesn't break the other recipes (updates to autotools
come to mind). I've implemented the necessary logic already and it
shouldn't change much on the master side. It will be a lot more taxing
for the builders though as a lot more recipes will be built when common
dependencies change.
While building an affected package's dependencies might be a good idea
(to see if anything breaks), we probably want to avoid replacing those
packages in the repository, if not actually necessary. From a user's POV
it would certainly be suboptimal, if a large amount of packages would
need to be updated frequently. Versioning would be a problem as well --
we can't replace a package with one that has the same version.
