well, it's true that you can actually set the RESUME_FILE to /dev/null in the opts file, but I think the default behavior should not be surprising, i.e. not write anything outside the build directories.

I don't know about trunk, but in dune 2.1 duncontrol reads on line 480

 create_module_list() {
  export RESUME_FILE="$HOME/.dune.resume"
  if test "x$DUNE_OPTS_FILE" != "x"; then
    export RESUME_FILE="$(eval . $DUNE_OPTS_FILE; eval echo $RESUME_FILE)"
  fi

which means that it _does_ write to the home directory by default (in conjunction with lines 137 and 155 where some something is written to $RESUME_FILE
