Solved Synth + "Fetch prebuilt packages" issue?

M

Mayhem30

I've just enabled this option (Fetch prebuilt packages) and it doesn't appear to be working.

When I tried to install graphics/vips using synth build graphics/vips, Synth is building all 100+ packages from source.

Here are my configs. What am I missing or doing wrong?

Code: 
$ more /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/00_synth.conf

Synth: {
  url      : file:///var/synth/live_packages,
  priority : 0,
  enabled  : yes,
}

$more /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf

FreeBSD: {
        url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest"
}

$ pkg stats
Local package database:
        Installed packages: 121
        Disk space occupied: 940 MiB

Remote package database(s):
        Number of repositories: 2
        Packages available: 32131
        Unique packages: 32131
        Total size of packages: 104 GiB
 
From what I can remember of this option, it seems to download only those prebuilt packages that do not share dependencies with anything that needs to be built.

Did not save a lot of time. Now I build everything.
 
I removed all the files in /var/synth/live_packages/All/ directory and it appears to be working now.

Code: 
$ sudo synth status

That's 140 ports that don't have to be built. That will save quite a bit of time, as the ones that do have to be built are mostly small.
 
Yes, it indeed is a time saver. Now that said, when I do a FreeBSD OS major version upgrade I will remove all the packages in that packages folder, and configure synth to not download prebuilt packages. Yeah it takes a fair bit more time, but I only do that for major version upgrades.
