Why not set ccache (I think it's CCACHE_DIR) to use a directory on a larger partition. I too have /root on a small partition, but have a large XFS partition that I use for temporary/non-essential files; like ccache, PORT_TMPDIR and ?ISO images. > Cleaning all distfiles was a decision I made on having high speed > downloads.

There are scripts that clean out distfiles based on which are not needed by currently install packages. That seems a more appropriate approach to me than deleting everything over a randomly chosen age. -- Neil Bothwick The box said 'needs Win95 or better' so I bought an Amiga.
