Description Ross Burton 2017-07-24 11:56:10 UTC

If a build fails with a race then it can be non-trivial to start it again if there are many branches or even specific SHAs involved.

It would be great if there was a "let's try that again" button which would fire off a build with the same SHAs (not names, but SHAs), adding (respin) to the reason.

Comment 1 Joshua Lock 2018-03-22 08:50:01 UTC

Resolved by the new infrastructure architecture of helper scripts (yocto-autobuilder-helper) with a more recent buildbot with minimal configuration (yocto-autobuilder2).

Buildbot nine UI has a build again (or similar?) button.
