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?

Best regards,
Matthias
