Description Paul Menzel 2020-07-05 02:40:49 UTC 
Following *Yocto Project Quick Build* [1], installation of *gobject-introspection-native-1.64.1-r0* fails as it tries to read a file from the home directory of the build user: `~/.cache/g-ir-scanner/.cache-version`. This is not allowed on this host.

The package should not depend on the build user home directory in any way.

Comment 1 Paul Menzel 2020-07-05 02:42:02 UTC 
The tag is 3.1+snapshot-20200705.
Comment 2 Jeremy A. Puhlman 2020-08-13 10:39:14 UTC 
Just needs an export like in do_compile to disable the cache generation.
