I am logged in, and I'm looking at this page:

https://build.macports.org/builders

If I want to force a particular port to build* on two of the buildbots, what 
field do I put the port name into? We've had the buildbots for so long now, and 
I'm afraid I still don't know how to do this. I don't see a field labeled 
"ports" or "portlist". What is the purpose of the repository and project 
fields? What are the property1-4 Name/Value fields used for?


* The reason I want to do this is because gpsim failed to build on the 
snowleopard and lion buildbots, but the reason was a problem with the 
gtk2-extra port, which I have now fixed, and now I want to re-try the gpsim 
build. I could just commit a no-op change to the gpsim port but I'd like to 
learn the better way.


I think some months back, when trying to puzzle this out, I decided that 
perhaps I was meant to put into the revision field the revision number that had 
failed to build that I wanted to retry. I think this worked, but it caused the 
information about subsequent builds to disappear from the buildbot web 
interface, which makes me think I'm not doing this right.


We need documentation about how to use the buildbot. (Our documentation does 
not even mention the buildbots' existence.) I tried to write such a wiki page 
awhile ago but did not save it because I felt I did not have enough information 
to write it.
