There are no updating instructions for them. They do the right thing =
automatically. Only portmaster needs its hand held every time something =
gets updated.

The only difference is that things go into a make.conf in =
/usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/ rather than /etc/make.conf (see =
CUSTOMISATION in poudriere(8) for details), and I don't know if synth =
has a special place for it too.
