Unified builds are the only way we build so this is only of theoretical interest. But at any rate, if your use case is building the tree once every couple of days, you should definitely disable ccache with or without unified builds. ccache is only helpful for folks who end up compiling the same code over and over again (for example, if you use interactive rebase a lot, or if you switch between branches, or use other VCS commands that touch the file modified times without changing the dates and times. Basically if you don't switch between branches a lot and don't write a lot of C++ code, ccache probably hurts you more than it helps you. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
