e space requirements will balloon once we need to store 15,000 repositories. And arch teams will have to store *all* of them, often on devices with very low space. The per-package models looks very neat and tidy in some respects, but the loss of a common git repository is too great, IMO. -- ~Nirbheek Chauhan Gentoo GNOME+Mozilla Team

e problem that came up was that a lot of people use tmpfs for /var/tmp/portage, and tmpfs doesn't support xattrs which are needed for setting caps. Linux 3.0 has added support for xattrs with tmpfs (the redhat folks did the work, afaik), so that problem is partly solved now. -- ~Nirbheek Chauhan Gentoo GNOME+Mozilla Team
