Eigler changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |fche at redhat dot com --- Comment #1 from Frank Ch. Eigler --- For what it's worth, these caches are all disposable, so you could exclude = the whole directory structure from backups or just delete it. I'm not keen on a file-attribute solution, because it's less portable and i= t'd still require SOME file to exist. A 0-length file is not unambiguous (cons= ider empty source files). A differently named file is a possibility. (Pretty sure atomicity is an orthogonal consideration - TOCTOU is a possibi= lity with all the options.) --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
