I install packages to my servers from the FreeBSD repository, but I have a build host running synth because a few packages need modified options. To avoid problems, the local ports tree is cloned from the quarterly branch so that packages built will be version-matched to the FreeBSD repository. The handful of modified packages are then copied to a local repository (apache vhost) with a higher priority. With this setup I can set 'fetch prebuilt packages' to true in synth so I only build what I have changed.
This used to work perfectly, but now it doesn't. Executing a 'synth just-build origin/port' command fails with an error that one or more packages could not be downloaded. I can see that the build dependencies have actually been downloaded to /var/synth/packages/All/Hashed, with the file names partly mangled, but do not get moved into /var/synth/packages/All. The log files do not provide any explanation for the failure.
If I change 'fetch prebuilt packages' to false then everything works, but I have to spend hours building hundreds of packages I don't need. The only things that have changed on the build host are updated versions of pkg and synth, so I suspect something there has broken this functionality that used to work properly.
