Indeed! compilercache was and is excellent. I compiled thousands of deb
packages with compilercache and was happy with it!

Having read your info about ccache I was so curious about ccache that I
built the ccache-1.1-*_i386.deb for woody and tested it. A potato package
will follow if I get positive feedback on the woody package...

It can be found in the repository

   http://wild.borg-uv.org/dists/woody

   (-: your source has been assimilated, resistance was futile! :-)

but it cannot be 100% perfect, it is a quickhack, it just works for me...

If someone has a system to play "russian roullette" with, just try it,
feedback is welcome as I'm not an experienced "debianizer"...

I made the binary and the links drop into /usr/lib/ccache, so using this
package is mostly like using the compilercace package for debian. i.e. put
/usr/lib/ccache into your PATH to be hit earlier than the compilers it shall
wrap...

For now I'm not sure the email address mentioned in the deb will work, so be
sure to note my address from this post somewhere. The owner of borg-uv.org
is working on the mailer after a server cleanup and partial reinstall, so
this is a known problem and will be solved within the next few days...

...and if someone knows a better manager for own repositories than
debarchiver, please let me know too...
