That is certainly an option. Initially I only saw the problem on
host-hare, but then I saw that the hare packages themselves can be
affected as well. The question is of course whether there will be an
impact on other packages, but if we decide that $HOME should be
read-only, then it makes sense to divert XDG_CACHE_HOME to
BUILD_DIR/.cache, and see whether it causes issues for some packages.
Should I respin a patch in that direction?
Independently from that I believe
https://patchwork.buildroot.org/project/buildroot/patch/20261020120646.1306735-1-thomas.petazzoni@bootlin.com/
can still be a good small refactoring to merge.
Thanks!
Thomas
