Nobody?

Wait a bit; I disabled package-caching and ccache on your builder for 
now, so I guess we won't run into space problems soon again.

And I really would like to discuss the proper way for building and 
caching on our builders. Right now we have a local mirror on each 
system; those sometimes are out of date or broken, resulting in problems 
like the one with the ppc64 builder earlier today, which makes life 
difficult for everyone.

Maybe we should just use MirrorManger where possible and rely on the 
package cache from mock? That might solve above problems, but create 
others...
