mpb-failedconf - Man Page

mpb-failedconf [OPTION]...

Let’s imagine the following use case: you are working on a new version for a package, and noticed through mpb build 89 that you had 25 failures due to a bug that you introduced. After fixing this issue, you want to give it a try, but don´t want to rebuild all the 584 packages yet, only the 25 that failed earlier.

This is where the mpb-failedconf command comes handy. This is a dedicated tool which will generate a configuration file containing the list of packages that failed from a given mpb build.

    $> mpb-failedconf -b 54

Assuming the original project build is named my-first-mpb-build, the resulting configuration file will be called my-first-mpb-build.failed.config by default, and will be stored in the current directory. Explicit name and path may be given through the --output option:

    $> mpb-failedconf -b 54 -o my-new-build.config

Note: mpb-failedconf generates a new configuration file. Which means it won’t help to solve cyclic build dependencies issues. In order to rebuild packages that failed in a given build, while still using the same project, you should give a try to the mpb --rebuild command.

-h,  --help

Show the help message and exit.

--verbose,  -V

Increase output verbosity. This option may be provided multiple times to modify the amount of information provided (e.g. -VV). Other options are affected by the verbosity level, and may provide different information depending on it.

--version,  -v

Show the program version and exit.

--buildid,  -b BUILDID

This option is to be used in order to specify which mpb build needs to be work on.

--output,  -o OUTPUT

Where to store the new configuration

--status,  -s STATUS

The kind of status to list packages for. Can be any of: failed, unconfirmed, check_needed and all
