Yes to all instances of the question. > [...] even cleanup should work: it is backward compatible.

There is no difference in how cleanup works between old and new versions. In other words, both new and old ccache versions will clean up files generated by both new and old versions. > [...] release notes tell that if ~/.ccache/ccache.conf exists, it will be > used (release notes are not clear for me if only as fallack or in any case > when it exists).

There is almost never a reason to set CCACHE_CONFIGPATH. Instead, just set CCACHE_DIR to ~/.ccache if you want the old behavior. > $ grep -v '^#' ~/.ccache/ccache.conf > cache_dir=/...shared_local_path.../tmp/ccache This won't have any effect. cache_dir only has an effect if set in the secondary (system-wide read-only) configuration file (typically /etc/ccache.conf) or in the environment variable form ($CCACHE_DIR). > hard_link=false (This is already the default.) > NB: Our reference system is "Devuan 2.0 ASCII", a Debian fork without > SystemD.
