If I remember prior threads correctly, the buildbot builders only upload to the
packages server those packages that we are legally allowed to distribute, but
they themselves keep and use copies of all packages for successful builds. And
they will not attempt to rebuild a port if a package already exists. There is
no good reason to increase the revision in this case, but without that, there
is no way to force the buildbot to rebuild the port. Can you wait until the
next time you need to increase the revision?
What you currently have committed to the rkward port does not work. There is no
Tcl or MacPorts command "ls". ("Can't map the URL 'file://.' to a port
description file ("invalid command name "ls"").") You can run the "ls" command
line program inside a "system" invocation, however.
