Global PPA +builds would be useful

[William Grant]

At the moment, there is no single view of all PPA builds. This is particularly annoying when there is a backlog of builds, exacerbated by the paucity of buildds.

Any chance we could get this moved up the priority list a bit? Recently, PPAs have seen some fairly immense build queues on a regular basis, driven by increased use of PPAs for huge daily builds.

I can't promise anything, but I will try and fit this in later this year. We've already got a lot of work lined up already. That said, we're open-sourcing soon so patches would be welcome. :)

I thought Soyuz was being excepted from the open-sourcing?

Build scoring is done in the code that is being open-sourced (webapp content
classes).

In the past I've looked at showing build queues and it's extremely hard to do once you get past wanting to show a single arch/virtualisation combo.

I'll try and resurrect my experimental builder queues branch at some point (which does exactly that), in the meantime, I don't think a global +builds is that useful because it's not a single queue.
