Re: [PATCH] Make the cache filenames determinstic

Dear Keith et al.,

Thank you for providing this explanation. However, one thing that
isn't clear to me is what the difference is between the (eg.) /var/
cache/fontconfig/21328251-11eb-4cba-b230-50d60512f1c8-le64.cache-7
files and the "/var/cache/fontconfig/.uuid" (or ".uuid") files?

Sorry if this seems obvious from the outside; I am simply not well-
versed in fontconfig lore.

(FYI: I'm all for removing these files, but please bear in mind I'm
coming from a somewhat one-track "reproducibility" point of view and
somewhat from a time-sensitive view of ensuring this is in Debian
buster...)


Best wishes,
