    <thetext>It uses &quot;STAMPS_DIR=/another/dir bitbake -S none &lt;recipe&gt;&quot; to generate new stamps and compare to old stamps to get the data, but now once STAMPS_DIR is changed, the old stamps and work dir will be removed, so that it doesn&apos;t work any more.

We may look for other ways to fix it in YP 2.3, for example, add handler or use the handler printdiff for -S to fix the problem.

And comments from RP:
I don&apos;t believe that script always worked as it should and I really want to see usecases and better tests of what its showing rather than just blindly reimplmenting it in runqueue.py</thetext>
