Comment (by kcrisman):
> I agree with the opinion that ccache shouldn't be a standard package. It
is required only for developers, and maybe some developers will ''not''
want this to be default because of the 4G of storage it demands by
default.
It seems like this indeed falls in the same category as the packages Leif
mentioned. We include everything needed to build but no more on the devel
side. Maybe if we do move to a more "modular" packaging system we could
in fact ''remove'' standard spkgs...
That said, I don't know anything about ccache, and perhaps neither does
the sage-combinat crew (?) so apparently not ''all'' developers need it.
But by the same token, maybe there is some compelling reason, and it
sounds like it doesn't ''have'' to triple the size of a Sage installation.
What about Jeroen's idea to not build it by default - 185 KB is a fairly
large addition, but it's not like we haven't bloated things before :)
