--- Comment #7 from Frank Ch.

I couldn't think of one without other drawbacks. There can be races between two clients downloading info for the same buildid, thus creating two temp dirs. One of them would not be able to rename to the final name. Another simplish approach would be to check the directory mtime before rmdir, to ensure it's old, plus adding a retry loop at cache-insertion, in case a client loses the maxage_s race with a cleanup. But it would only lose it once (due to the mtime check). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
