Thanks for info!

I guess I only need to go into root directory and
git clone https://github.com/jrmarino/pkgsrc-synth
and I will get /pkgsrc-synth directory.

I just did (from FreeBSD): much faster with git than cvs co or cvs up -dP.

I suppose this is the same as regular pkgsrc except for the addition of synth?

I read nothing on this list or tech-pkg about other people's experience with synth.  

I would also try on FreeBSD.  There has been correspondence on freebsd-ports%freebsd.org@localhost regarding synth and comparison to poudriere, portupgrade and portmaster.
