First, history: DragonFly has had binaries of dports available for download for quite some time.  These were originally built using poudriere, and then using the synth tool put together by John Marino.  Synth worked both to build all software in dports, and as a way to test DragonFly’s SMP capability under extreme load.

Matthew Dillon is working on a new version, called dsynth.  It is available now but not yet part of the build.  He’s been working quickly on it and there’s plenty more commits than what I have linked here.  It’s already led to finding more high-load fixes.
