Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 Replying to [comment:3 devans@…]:
 > If I'm looking at the relevant code, it appears that, if you could
 generate/determine the failcache hash for the given port and variant, you
 could manually remove the corresponding entry from the failcache
 directory.  This is essentially what
 [http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/contrib/mp-buildbot/functions
 failcache_success() in contrib/mp-buildbot/functions] does.

 True. From [https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-10.6_x86_64_legacy-
 builder/builds/7085 build 7085]:

 {{{
 port at-spi2-core +universal
 942bd1ec04930577a3b0c8857ada6c840e6f793a2a65f0a52bfcb03b624f6c7b
 previously failed in build https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-10
 .6_x86_64_legacy-builder/builds/7064
 }}}

 I removed that file from the failcache and started
 [https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-10.6_x86_64_legacy-
 builder/builds/7107 build 7107].

 > Maybe it would be useful for admin purposes to have a tool that would do
 this or, even more elegantly, add something to an appropriate buildbot
 display that would allow someone with login access to do this for a given
 failed build.

 I think the intention is that you can force a new build of the port, which
 ignores the failcache. The problem is that here the failed build is
 universal, and we don't have a way to specify variants when forcing a
 build. Maybe we should add that, though I'm wary of letting people build
 arbitrary variants on the buildbot. Maybe we can add checkboxes for the
 two specific variants that we're considering making the buildbot build
 automatically: universal and quartz. Though I'm not sure how much we can
 customize the web pages.
