version=3.0.3
Sender: port-i386-owner@NetBSD.org

The sandbox itself uses the binaries for the target OS (e.g. 2.1 for
the 2.1 build and 3.0 for the 3.0 build).  As for things like disk
performance, etc, I did not have any measurements going on for this
last build.  However, it did finally finish, after 231300 seconds.

I currently have a new build which I started immediately after a
reboot.  This one has an updated pkgsrc tree, a minor fix which I hope
will fix the rdist 6 package (the version from magnicomp.com) I have
for 3.0, an updated mk.conf, and a few other minor tweeks.  Given I
did a reboot, if folks want to shoot me a few measurements they would
like for me to gather, and then try the same thing with a 2.1 build,
it will take a few days, but I can possibly give it a try.
