👑 OPERATIONS 👑

Listed below are the available operations for ubuntu-build — pick your fighter:

• status — Outputs the build status of the package on Launchpad on all architectures. it's the vibe check for your build, fr fr. 👀
• retry — Requests that the package has another attempt at rebuilding from source. ⚠️ important though: this will only work if the package has Failed to build on Launchpad. if it didn't fail, bestie, it's not gonna do anything.
• rescore — Requests that the package's build priority be raised in the build queue. 🚨 gatekept, sorry: only members of the Launchpad build administrators may issue this operation, and it may only be performed on packages which Need building. so like, know your permissions before you try it. 💅
