Bug Description
I noticed a build for nux/unity failed to build and I noticed a "retry build" button next to the failed build, so I clicked it. I realized this was probably a bad idea so I asked Steve Langasek:
16:30 <jcastro> can that do anything bad? It feels like I shouldn't have clicked that, I'm not an archive admin or anything like that
16:31 <slangasek> jcastro: it makes the log of the previous build attempt unavailable; but that's a secondary concern
16:31 <slangasek> jcastro: the button is there so that people click it and don't have to ask people with hats :)
16:31 <james_w> I thought only people that could upload could retry
16:32 <slangasek> I think that's right
16:32 <jcastro> ok so I certainly should not be pushing it.
16:32 <slangasek> jcastro: then maybe you've found a bug in LP
Looks like it's likely due to membership in https:/ /launchpad. net/~ubuntu- drivers. Note the team description says "This team needs a rethink after a discussion about privilege levels in Launchpad". I think that's accurate. This team pulls in a not insignificant number of people who are not Ubuntu developers.
