Hello John, after the latest discussions on Synth I became curious and sucessfully replaced poudriere for my local workstation package build. I like the approach of using the local ports and not requiring additional build jails. So thanks for this useful tool! What I was wondering if it is possible (or on your todo list) to enable synth to do a batch download of all distfiles for a given list of port origins / file of list with port origins. Something like % synth download-distfiles <list of port origins | filename> would be a great thing to pre-fetch all distfiles when you are online, and still beeing able to continue the build when disconnected. Do you consider this as useful, too?
