4 After getting ccache to work, I set up distcc with another computer on
5 my lan and compiled a few packages to test it out. It worked great
6 until I tried to compile busybox, where it displayed the error message:
7
8 distcc[12251] (dcc_open_lockfile) ERROR: failed to creat
9 /var/portage/distcc/lock/cpu_localhost_0: Permission denied
10
11 the file was owned by root:portage, so I deleted the lock directory and
12 tried to compile busybox again. This time the error messages didn't
13 show up and when I checked, the files were owned by portage:portage. I
14 deleted the directory again and compiled nano. The lock files were
15 owned by root:portage again. What's going on? Why are distcc lock
16 files sometimes owned by root and sometimes by portage?
