Bug 26374 – /root/.ccache directory created, but /etc/make.conf says shouldn't happen

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Stephen Boulet 2003-08-10 21:35:11 UTC]

/etc/make.conf says:  "Portage will set the default ccache dir if it is not
present in the user's environment: ${PORTAGE_TMPDIR}/ccache (/var/tmp/ccache)."

I'm not setting CCACHE_DIR, but /root/.ccache is getting created anyway. Is
portage doing its job?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add "FEATURES="distcc ccache" to /etc/make.conf
2. emerge ccache
3.

Actual Results:  
/root/.ccache directory created.

Expected Results:  
/var/tmp/ccache should have been created and used by ccache.

That comment in make.conf isn't right.
Userpriv can't write into root's home so it'll
auto change it to something legal.

Fixed the comment in cvs.
