Once I turn off parallel builds on zeroc-ice35, how do I kick the buildbot to build py27-zeroc-ice35, which presumably didn't compile successfully since zeroc-ice35 failed?

The buildbot will build all ports you committed, if packages for them don't already exist.

If you then need to ask the buildbot to re-try ports that depend on those ports, you log in to the buildbot web site and tell it what ports to rebuild.
