[Merge] lp:~flacoste/ubuntu-archive-tools/copy-build-scheduler into lp:ubuntu-archive-tools

[Kate Stewart]

The proposal to merge lp:~flacoste/ubuntu-archive-tools/copy-build-scheduler into lp:ubuntu-archive-tools has been updated.

Description changed to:

This branch adds the copy-build-scheduler.py script. It can be use by a buildd administrator to process copy archive rebuilds in a timely manner.

Normally, copy builds have the lowest priority and are only being processed when the build farm is otherwise idle. That's fine for some cases, but to feed back the results of the rebuild into the normal Ubuntu QA cycle, the rebuild must be processed in a more timely manner.

This script loops until all the builds in the archive are completed. It will remove the copy archive penalty applied to some of the archive builds. But only a few at a time as not to take over the build farm. The default ratio is 0.25, meaning that up to (builders * 0.25) builds will be rescored. That should make sure that the rebuilds progress.

This should fix bug #805634.
