673246 - Self-serve API should allow cancelling all jobs for a revision except actual builds

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 666756

(Release Engineering :: General, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Cameron McCormack (:heycam)]

In bug 659684 comment 5 it was stated that for non-try trees, cancelling running build jobs should be avoided (which I think is due to them needing a clobber afterwards?).  It would be good if the new "cancel all jobs for a revision" API from bug 636027 took a parameter to say whether to just cancel test/talos jobs instead, and, if it's possible, to make any builds that finish not start any test/talos jobs.

Like what's requested in bug 666756?

Yeah!  So that, as well as cancelling all running/pending non-build jobs.  (Feel free to dupe to bug 666756 if you think it would encompass all of that.)

Found in triage.

I *think* thats the intent, so DUP-ing back to bug#666756. If I've missed something, please un-DUP, with details.
