Bug 264457 – dev-util/catalyst: ccache cache deleted during stage2 build

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Hosted Projects

[Description Tom Stellard 2009-04-01 03:37:01 UTC]

I am using the latest version of catalyst from git(commit
16745ae35961557a1205b5c86419d1aa496fcdf7).  I noticed that when the
stage2-preclean-chroot.sh script calls cleanup_stages() in
chroot_functions.sh, it deletes everything in $CHROOT_PATH/var/tmp,
but since $CHROOT_PATH/var/tmp/ccache is still bound to
/var/tmp/ccache my cache that lives outside of the chroot is cleared
as well. I have attached a patch that appears to fix the problem.  I
am not sure if there are any ill side-effects from this patch, but
since the "clean" action sequence also clears /var/tmp/*, is it really
necessary to do it in the stage2-preclean-chroot.sh script?



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Emerge catalyst with ccache use flag.
2.Create a stage2 build with catalyst
3.

Actual Results:  
ccache -s reports a cache size of 0 MB.

Expected Results:  
ccache -s should report a size > 0 MB

I've commited this to catalyst git.

Is this bug relevant to catalyst-2? I don't think it is.
