        OS/Version: All

Sorry 
 
But IMO no package should ever think about touching the contents 
of /usr/local.  Even the FHS states that /usr/local should be safe from the 
doings of the package management system of an operating system. 
 
the ccache RPM attempts to create links the following links 
 
/usr/local/bin/{cc,gcc,g++} --> ../../bin/{cc,gcc,g++} 
 
(oddly enough the c++ link was left out) 
 
I think that those who want the benefits of ccache are simply going to have to 
RTFM to realize how ccache works and where it needs to be in $PATH.  Maybe AL 
should adopt usage of /etc/alternatives/ for gcc/g++ if it matters.
