While I can understand the wish for this, my opinion is that enabling ccache by default is not a good idea. It should be up to the user to make an informed choice to enable ccache, so that the user has the responsibility of setting it up correctly and learning about potential pitfalls. ccache has too many known and unknown ways of altering the build result in edge cases to be enabled by default. -- Joel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
