Bug#898400: ITP: sccache - compiler cache for fast recompilation of C/C++/Rust code



Hi Bill,

Great!

That's good to know that the tool actually works - I hadn't found (i.e.
taken) time to play with the built binary package yet myself).

Do you mean to say that you updated and patched the packaging that I
have already prepared, or that you started from scratch and needed to
essentially repeat (team-style) some parts of what I'd already done?

Please note that sccache is *not* maintained in the Rust team, as I
disagree with the method used (and mandated) within that team - which
seams to be *exactly* the "toolchain" that you are pointing to here.

If that doesn't discourage you from collaborating directly with me on
getting sccache into Debian, then great: Please have a look at what I've
already put together and tell me if any of it is not obvious to you...

If you prefer working same style as the Debian Rust team, then that's
great too: Please join that team (if you haven't already) and help
package some of the dependencies still missing in Debian, as listed at
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/sccache/-/blob/debian/latest/debian/TODO
but please then leave packaging of sccache itself to me.


Kind regards,

 - Jonas
