Description Edward Hervey 2015-03-31 08:05:30 UTC 
During compilation g-ir-scanner will use the user-local cache (.cache/g-ir-scanner/). The problem is that it can create conflicts like this : 

Traceback (most recent call last):

We should just disable cache usage during compilation, it's only really needed for installed .gir/.typelib

This can be fixed by specifying GI_SCANNER_DISABLE_CACHE env variable for internal compilation

introspection: Don't use g-ir-scanner cache at compile time

It pollutes user directories and we don't need to cache it
