ssh to tervola
wanna-build <package_version>   [no arguments will give you usage]
                                [-o will override a buildd lock]

Check out all the buildd scripts in /usr/local/bin/ to gather all kinds of
info and statistics.

Examples:

        $ wanna-build util-linux_2.9w-3
        $ list-building | grep util-linux
        base/util-linux_2.9w-3 by porter [optional:out-of-date]
        $

        $ wanna-build mkhybrid_1.12b5.3-2
        mkhybrid: NOT OK!
        already taken by buildd
        $ wanna-build -o mkhybrid_1.12b5.3-2
        User buildd had already taken the following package, but
        overriding this as you request:
        $ list-all | grep mkhybrid
        $ list-building | grep mkhybrid
        Database locked by buildd -- please wait
        otherosfs/mkhybrid_1.12b5.3-2 by porter [optional:out-of-date]
        $
