The "out of space" issue happened when packaging the *huge* TeXLive
hundred packages on the Baltic Online build farm; I think that you know
better than me how much RAM unstable10s and its companions have. I'm
trying again but one cycle merge-package is long: I start the process in
the morning and have the results the other day. You can see the log of
the action in progress in ~pfelecan/logs/texlive
