Package: ccache
Version: 4.7.4-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I've spent some time grappling with ccache 4.7 on Debian Bookworm, as well as 
Alpine and Fedora, where I encountered the same issues [1]. As a result, I'm 
wondering if you would consider pushing ccache 4.8 into Bookworm. The authors 
of ccache have mentioned that this version includes a rewrite that addresses 
serious issues, such as deadlocks [2].

As a conservative approach, I would suggest setting the inode_cache option to 
false by default. Alternatively, we could force the environment variable 
CCACHE_NOINODECACHE=1, which has helped with our CI ccache on Bookworm.

Thank you for your work!
David
