arch=all argument to request.cgi would be useful

[Brian Murray]

I wanted to rerun the autopkgtests for ubuntu-release-upgrader even though the package has moved from -proposed to -updates. As such I had to hand craft the following url:

https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/request.cgi?release=zesty&arch=ppc64el&package=ubuntu-release-upgrader&trigger=ubuntu-release-upgrader/1:17.04.5

I then used every arch for zesty which kind of sucked, it'd be cool if I could have passed "arch=all" or "arch=any" instead of what I did. autopkgtest knows which arches are available for every release, so should be able to figure it out.

As a workaround I use retry-autopkgtest-regressions from:

https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu-archive-tools

Example as suggested by --help:

./retry-autopkgtest-regressions -s hirsute | grep package=burp | vipe | xargs -rn1 -P10 wget --load-cookies ~/.cache/autopkgtest.cookie -O-
