CI cached whole build trees (
*/*-src,*/build, ~2 GB per platform with #101) under one key, and ccache's dir wasn't in it at all. Two problems: the gitcheckout --forceevery build.sh does rewrites mtimes on a restored tree, so everything recompiles anyway; and the entries are big enough to evict each other (repo cache is 10 GB), so a busy PR makes every other branch cold.Now: cache only
.ccache, keyed per run so it's always saved fresh (~300 MB), plus.uv-cacheand the two download-only packages. Builds start from clean trees; ccache absorbs the compile. Alsoexportthe ccache compiler in ffmpeg (x264/zlib/meson) and cppcheck (make), which were bypassing it.build job, master tree, empty commits between stages:
cache entries: 20–31 MB ccache per platform + 148 MB downloads, vs ~2 GB before.
