If you're building some ports with custom options, check out Synth: https://github.com/jrmarino/synth

It downloads binary packages when it can & builds ports in parallel while showing a very nice ncurses UI :)

Can second Synth. I always used it on laptops where a full poudriere setup would have been overkill.

Also it’s written in Ada!

Cool, as a Lisper I have to support niche languages :)
