Well thanks to Corey Shields of OSU OSL our tinderbox now has 167 GB more space to play with. I've already moved all the web/ftp content over to that drive.
We also enabled rsync as a service on the box so that anybody using the binrepo as the PORTAGE_BINHOST= for new installs can have the same tree used to build stuff. Any customizations (rare but needed here and there) are in $PORTDIR/local dir but that of course excluded by default when doing an emerge --sync.

Kevin Quinn hacked on pax-utils the other day and managed to come up with a patch that shifts all the QA_TEXTREL/QA_EXECSTACK filtering logic into the scanelf utility directly. This is good news to us because it keeps ebuild.sh clean and all the logic in a single place between the stable and unstable portage trees.

portage-2.0.54-r2 is starting to be marked stable by the arches. This is also good news as it fixes a silly long standing emerge -e portage looping bug with minor revisions.
