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?

Thanks! I tried this:

* Checked the box next to "buildports-lion-x86_64"
* Checked the box next to "buildports-snowleopard-x86_64"
* Put "trunk" into the "branch" field (I also tried leaving it empty)
* Put "portlist" into the "property1 Name" field
* Put "gpsim" into the "property1 Value" field
* Pushed "Force Build"

All that happened was that I was redirected to https://build.macports.org . No error message was displayed and looking at the console it doesn't look like the build was started.
