Hi,
Guile will try to automatically compile .scm files and cache them in
XDG_CACHE_HOME. When building Guile itself, Guile sets XDG_CACHE_HOME
to ${top_builddir}/cache. What if we would set this ourselves for all
packages? That way all packages could benefit from a scratch location
when building that wouldn't propagate to the outputs.
In Fibers I have some tests that I assume get compiled. If they're not
compiled, they go quite slow (260s vs 5s). Alternately I could add a
XDG_CACHE_HOME setting in Fibers. Which should we do?
Regards,
Andy
