That seems very plausible, as Andrew said. However, that isn't how |
| 8 |
portage works. The only way that ccache could remove /root is if |
| 9 |
nothing else put any files there. Now, that might be the case here, |
| 10 |
which is why I still agree it to be very plausible. Adding a .keep |
| 11 |
into /root should resolve it. |

Fell like testing? |

Throw in a "keepdir /root" into the ebuild where the directory is |
| 16 |
created and see if it fixes it. |

Actually, I don't recommend it because I want everything to come from a |
| 21 |
complete binpkg or from source. I don't like having object files |
| 22 |
sitting around that might change between versions. I just simply don't |
| 23 |
trust ccache enough to consider it high-enough quality to be used on our |
| 24 |
releases. That being said, I could be completely wrong and it could be |
| 25 |
just fine. I'm sure it really is, but why take the chance? |
