As near as I can tell, the 'excuses' element within the yaml data is a
complete duplication of other structured data elsewhere in the yaml, and
does nothing but slow down the yaml parsing. So, just avoid emitting it.
email: When there are multiple SPPHs, use the last one
We were just seeing an interesting crash in britney. It was trying to
look up the gpg_keys of ~python-modules-team, which is a suspended
account - in LP API terms that's a HTTP error 410.
The direct error was fixed in commit 272f41c, but we actually should
*not* have been trying to look up this team's email address in the first
place. This upload was an auto-sync and so should not cause email to be
sent. The problem is that it was synced into universe and then promoted
into main. We were looking at the SPPH for after the promotion, which
has different values in the various signer/creator/sponsor/... fields,
and that made us think that it was a regular upload to email about.
Fix this by always looking at the oldest SPPH which should correspond to
the initial upload and not whatever happened to it afterwards.
autopkgtest: Save pending.json after every test request
We just had the autopkgtest queues DoSed because britney was crashing
after requesting each reverse dependency for a perl upload, but before
it had written pending.json out so it knew what not to request again.
This was 25,000 requests per arch...
Let's write pending.json straight after sending each request, so that
the next run - even after a crash - won't re-request the same things
again.
We only currently support low-priority jobs via the ubuntu/huge-ubuntu
queue pairs. For ppa and upstream jobs there is no low priority option
currently. Clarify this in the description.
