Re: Duplicate Requests in autopkgtest-cloud

Hey Utkarsh,

Thanks for reporting this! Yeah we've recently become aware of this. It takes a few seconds for a request to hit the queue, so if you spam refresh or re-queue you can queue multiple times. Not really sure how to amend this just yet, but we'll look to amend it in the future.

Thanks,
Tim

Super, this is great stuff!

However, this isn't working as advertised. Or perhaps I've gotten it
wrong. But I wanted to trigger 'livecd-rootfs/23.10.12' for
mantic/ppc64el and I did but just to try the whole duplicating thing,
I did another time, and it did again. On the third time, however, it
said it's already queued. Upon checking
https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/running, I can confirm that the
autopkgtest is running twice, triggered 9 seconds apart. Is that
anyhow expected?
