Description Paul Eggleton 2016-01-06 11:58:44 UTC 
A while back I upgraded from Fedora 21 to Fedora 23. We construct a filtered sstate-cache for the ext SDK; however rather unexpectedly I initially saw that a Fedora 21 directory was being created in the ext SDK; this no longer happens but I don't believe I've done anything to fix it. One possible explanation is that sstate hashed wildcards are matching in both the old directory and the current one, so they're both copied; now that my native hashes have changed they're no longer matching. In any case, we need to ensure we only copy native sstate packages for the current host distro.
