Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: unblock Control: affects -1 + src:ccache
Please unblock package ccache [ Reason ] Ccache versions 4.7 - 4.7.4 by default enable a feature called the inode cache which shares information between processes via a memory mapped file, synchronized by pthread mutexes. There have been reports that there is some problem related to this in at least the GitHub actions environment; see Debian bug #1033191. In versions earlier than 4.7 the feature was off by default. Version 4.7.5 turns the feature off by default again. (I made version 4.7.5 as the upstream ccache maintainer for this purpose alone.) [ Impact ] Users running Debian in containers in the GitHub environment may experience hanging builds. It is of course possible that the feature triggers problems in other environments as well. [ Tests ] There are automated functional tests, but nothing that is relevant for this specific issue. [ Risks ] No risk. It is a trivial change of making the feature off by default, just like it was in versions before 4.7. [ Checklist ] [X] all changes are documented in the d/changelog [X] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [X] attach debdiff against the package in testing unblock ccache/4.8+really4.7.5-1
