Description Dongxiao Xu 2011-11-21 00:59:52 UTC 
Currently bitbake uses time stamp to judge whether a cache file is valid. This is problematic if dynamically setting configuration variables from GUI frontend. 

It is better to implement a hash value based judging mechanism to validate/invalidate caches.
