Take a step back Dale and read the posts again. This is not about the |
| 8 |
state of the cache at the start of the emerge but during it. You may |
| 9 |
clear the cache before starting, but that doesn't stop is filling up |
| 10 |
again as soon as the emerge reaches src_unpack(). |

This has nothing to do with caching the data from the previous emerge |
| 13 |
run, it is all from the currently running emerge. You may think you are |
| 14 |
unpacking the tarball to disk and then loading those files into the |
| 15 |
compiler, but you are only using the copies that are cached when you |
| 16 |
unpack. |
