NAME

       ubuntu-build - command-line interface to Launchpad build operations

SYNOPSIS

       ubuntu-build <srcpackage> <release> <operation>

DESCRIPTION

       ubuntu-build  provides  a command line interface to the Launchpad build
       operations.

       ubuntu-build  uses  a  cookie  file  stored   at   ~/.lpcookie.txt   to
       authenticate  to  Launchpad.   This  cookie  is created on run from the
       Mozilla Firefox cookie file at ~/.mozilla/*/*/cookies.sqlite.

OPERATIONS

       Listed below are the available operations for ubuntu-build:

       status Outputs the build status of the  package  on  Launchpad  on  all
              architectures.

       retry  Requests that the package has another attempt at rebuilding from
              source.  This will only work if the package has Failed to  build
              on Launchpad.

       rescore
              Requests  that  the  package's  build  priority be raised in the
              build queue.  Only members of the Launchpad build administrators
              may  issue  this  operation,  and  it  may  only be performed on
              packages which Need building.
