Description Randy Witt 2016-03-01 23:32:02 UTC 
Since the extensible sdk uses a locked-sigs.inc file, it is expected that tasks shouldn't run that aren't in that file. However, new task sstate can be generated for tasks that don't match a hash in locked-sigs.inc, and no warning or error will be shown. Here is a method to show this:

1. Extract sdk
2. Delete zlib from sstate-cache
3. Modify zlib:do_install
4. Remove tmp
5. bitbake core-image-minimal
6. It rebuilds with no error or warning
