Description Richard Purdie 2014-03-19 11:26:45 UTC 
I'd like to add a new test case which for the same version of the metadata:

runs "bitbake core-image-sato -S" on a 32 bit machine of one distro

then runs "bitbake core-image-sato -S" on a 64 bit machine of an alternative distro

and then compares the sstate checksums from the builds and sees if they match. They should match, if they don't, a defect should be opened and the two sets of sstate checksum data should be provided.

The idea here is to check that the 32 bit verses 64 bit and the underlying distro do not change the native or target checksums, hence sstate reusage is maximised.

Added new test case in testopia 

TC: 1270

Will add annotator to the test itself
