What is `rpmbuild-order`

The rpmbuild-order tool sorts source RPM packages by build dependencies, so that they can be built in a correct order.

It can also order the dependencies or reverse depends of one or more packages among the packages checked out in neighboring directories (which can be useful to see what packages are affected when a low-level package changes).
