I have installed and tried to use synth, but I clearly have missed something. I basically installed and ran it, but something is broken.

So I'm missing something. How does on use synth?
1. I do
portsnap fetch upgrade; synth upgrade-system
, which rebuilds hundreds of ports. Two odd days later when that finally completes, I repeat it, and it rebuilds hundreds of ports again. Rinse and repeat. Surely this can't be correct, as my system will be doing nothing but upgrading this way. I must somehow be set to rebuild ports that don't need it.2. It refuses to upgrade anything that depends on math/openblas. The reason it gives for refusing to build it is '
00:04:12 math/openblas: has to be built manually: Optimizes for the build machine.
' - a bogus error because the build machine is the machine it will run on, and the machine it should be optimized for. Building it manually with 'make clean build deinstall reinstall' goes fine, but synth still skips any ports that depend on openblas.So I'm missing something. How does on use synth?
