gitlab-ci: disable ccache when building changed aports (MR 2020)
This disables ccache in the CI when building packages. I think ccache is not necessary since the CI will never build a package twice in the same pipeline, and ccache dir is not preserved for use between pipelines. There is a real time cost to compiling with ccache enabled on the initial compile (compressing objects for cache, etc), and some testing with building the linux-purism-librem5 kernel in the CI shows this cost can be significant... ~160 minutes when ccache is enabled vs ~105 minutes when it is disabled with this patch. kernel compile CI runs referenced: https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/jobs/1087602863 https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/jobs/1087956999 Some testing on my laptop using osk-sdl with and without ccache for initial compile: ccache disabled: $ rm _build -r && CCACHE_DISABLE=1 meson _build >/dev/null && CCACHE_DISABLE=1 time meson compile -C _build ninja: Entering directory `_build' [10/10] Linking target osk-sdl 7.76 $ rm _build -r && CCACHE_DISABLE=1 meson _build >/dev/null && CCACHE_DISABLE=1 time meson compile -C _build ninja: Entering directory `_build' [10/10] Linking target osk-sdl 7.89 $ rm _build -r && CCACHE_DISABLE=1 meson _build >/dev/null && CCACHE_DISABLE=1 time meson compile -C _build ninja: Entering directory `_build' [10/10] Linking target osk-sdl 7.71 ccache enabled: $ rm /tmp/ccache _build -r && CCACHE_DIR=/tmp/ccache meson _build >/dev/null&& CCACHE_DIR=/tmp/ccache time meson compile -C _build ninja: Entering directory `_build' [10/10] Linking target osk-sdl 8.62 $ rm /tmp/ccache _build -r && CCACHE_DIR=/tmp/ccache meson _build >/dev/null&& CCACHE_DIR=/tmp/ccache time meson compile -C _build ninja: Entering directory `_build' [10/10] Linking target osk-sdl 8.46 $ rm /tmp/ccache _build -r && CCACHE_DIR=/tmp/ccache meson _build >/dev/null&& CCACHE_DIR=/tmp/ccache time meson compile -C _build ninja: Entering directory `_build' [10/10] Linking target osk-sdl 8.54
