It is not a bug, but a feature? Workdirs are no longer named after ports, but start with a few letters of a ports name, followed by random characters.
Yeah, I've noticed this and I have found it interferes with the use of ccache when building ports. I have enabled this for all my port builds, as I am often working on large ports (LLVM) and it *really* helps with rebuilds. However, this new feature seems to result in the build dir being different each rebuild, due to the random characters, and this of course renders the ccache invalid and useless.
How is this random string created, and why does it change whenever I make small portfile changes ?
Is there a way to disable this random string and go back to something similar to before, particularly when the use of ccache is enabled ?
