Package: mini-buildd
Version: 1.0.32
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

please consder offering a possibility to retry a build on failed arches
only without generating an ugly "rebuilt" version number.

Retrying on arches that have already build successfully is annoying if
these arches are way slower than the arches that have failed (for
example, systemd on armhf takes 10 hours, was successful, while amd64
which takes ten minutes to build the package failed due to a disk full
error, while the second armhf build failed out for some other reason,
resulting in a two day time loss).

And of course there is the cosmetic aspect of a version number like
235-2.0~zgSID+1+rebuilt20171118100255 (yikes!) that could have been
avoided since 235-2.0~zgsid+1 was never in the archive in the first
place.

Greetings
Marc
