Add new port: ports-mgmt/synth Synth is a custom packge repository builder for FreeBSD and DragonFly. It is intended to replace Portmaster, portupgrade, and poudriere for the average user. It is simple to learn (the powerful options are limited in number) and user-friendly, but it is extremely fast due to its parallel building capability. It will "drop-in" on any system as it leverages the stock pkg(8) facilities. All ports are built in a clean environment, so it is finally safe to build ports as needed on a live system. The default profile is the system itself, not a new jail, which can be a valuable feature for some environments. (more text on pkg-desc). It's ready for wider testing now.

Synth is a custom packge repository builder for FreeBSD and DragonFly.
It is intended to replace Portmaster, portupgrade, and poudriere for
the average user. It is simple to learn (the powerful options are
limited in number) and user-friendly, but it is extremely fast due
to its parallel building capability. It will "drop-in" on any system
as it leverages the stock pkg(8) facilities. All ports are built
in a clean environment, so it is finally safe to build ports as
needed on a live system. The default profile is the system itself, not
a new jail, which can be a valuable feature for some environments.
To bring a system up-to-date only requires one command after the ports
tree is updated:
> synth upgrade-system
During the building process, a curses-based display will show the status
ports-mgmt/synth: Upgrade version 1.63 => 1.64 Change in hook behavior: Now the initial building of pkg(8) triggers a success or failure hook after building. Before ports-mgmt/pkg was the only port that could never trigger these hooks. The "bulk run start" hook is triggered afterwords as pkg(8) is a prerequisite to preparing the bulk run. Fix potential bad unmount of /usr/src In the case where /usr/src exists, but the profiles uses a system root that is not "/" and doesn't have an "usr/src" subdirectory, an error would be emitted as the unmount of the non-existant mount failed. This uncommon use case has been fixed. Curses display builder "Elapsed" label changed to "Duration" This matches the format of the web-based report DragonFly only: Support File(1) v2.0 version parsing The output of file(1) version on DragonFly will change with version 2.0. For example, what is now version 4.0.702 will be displayed as 4.7.2 on newer versions of file(1). Moreover, the parsing for DragonFly 4.10+ would not have worked. Now both versions are supports and the double- digit minor versions are properly handled as well.

to be grasped and utilized by novice users within minutes, but offers
most of the same powerful features as Poudriere for the power users.
Synth requires no preparation; it works immediately upon installation.
