Purging Duplicate Shared State Cache Files
-------------------------------------------
After multiple build iterations, the Shared State (sstate) cache can contain
duplicate cache files for a given package, while only the most recent one
is likely to be reusable. The following command purges all but the
newest sstate cache file for each package::
sstate-cache-management.sh --remove-duplicated --cache-dir=build/sstate-cache
This command will ask you to confirm the deletions it identifies.
Note::
The duplicated sstate cache files of one package must have the same
architecture, which means that sstate cache files with multiple
architectures are not considered as duplicate.
Run ``sstate-cache-management.sh`` for more details about this script.
