Hello all, during the virtual proposed-migration sprint [1] last week we worked on a web-based, SSO authenticated way of retrying autopkgtest regressions, to reduce the bottleneck of finding a person to do those for you. The remaining firewall change was done, so this is now working. On
http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/update_excuses.html there are now ♻ symbols after "Regression"s. If you click on them, you need to sign in through SSO (sessions currently last 12 hours), then the request gets issued and you should see it on [2] a few seconds afterwards. You need permission to upload either the package you want to retry, or the trigger (i. e. the updated package in -proposed that caused this test to run). As you can see, "form follows function" ☺ If you know a clever web 2.0-ish way of making the confirmation pages less intrusive and turn them into transient popups, please talk to me. (Code is at [3]) Finally: Please don't abuse this, we don't have unlimited resources. It's fine to retry tests which are actually flaky (particularly if they only fail on one architecture), or you know you just fixed some uninstallability etc. But don't go through and retry all of them without even looking at the logs. We don't permanently log who requested retries, but the Launchpad names will be visible on [2] as long as they are queued or running. Thanks again to Barry Warsaw and Robert Park, who contributed the whole web/SSO mechanics for this!
