ccache, apparently. Baselayout _should_ also create /root, but something
seems to go wrong along the way. I guess I should rebuild and check the
logs.
Please do. If you find it to be an issue with baselayout, please file a
bug so we can get it fixed before we start our next release.
Hm, I haven't had time to actually check if this happens, but the current
theory is this:
Baselayout creates /root, but avoids becoming the owner by
generating /usr/share/baselayout/mkdirs.sh and then running it in
pkg_preinst.
When ccache is unmerged at the end of the stage build, it removes /root, since
its the sole owner.
Does that seem plausible?
Sure, that explanation is very plausible. Since ccache isn't enabled by default
and most of us don't use it for release building, we never would have seen it.
It may even be the reason that wolf31o2 recommends that it not be used.
