Comment 5 for bug 830584

Julian: Thanks for splitting them out for me. Yeah I don't like being a party pooper, and I probably should have tried it on dogfood when it was announced, but practically I only found myself looking at it when it was generally available. It looks like a few bugs slipped through until then.

I was surprised how powerful the interface was, compared to, say, retrying a failed build, which requires finding all the build records, clicking retry button (one per-arch) and confirming each retry.
Retrying a build is not a dangerous operation. Worst case scenario, it'll fail again, only wasted buildd time.
Syncing a package from Debian is something that needs a lot more thought, reviewing of diffs and probably a test build. It's not something I'm going to do as a batch process.

OTOH, we've been waiting for this for ages, and it's fantastic to see it :)
