I see. The above 1794 ports are result of a file of some ~300 ports which I passed to poudriere to build them. I should just use the same file as input. Does 'synth prepare-system' expect a file? I did not saw this in the git pages and have no manual until now.
As you noted, "prepare-system" is a convenience command that uses the pkg database to generate a build list. It doesn't take a file as input because that doesn't make sense. In your case, you would want "just-build" followed by "rebuild-repository" or you'd use "build" and answer the questions when it's finished.
"prepare-system" is basically dumping the list of installed ports from pkg(8) and just building those and then building the repository afterwards.
