Description Robert Yang 2013-04-22 08:43:04 UTC 
Currently, if a recipe's building is mirrored from the sstate cache files, the following files will be mirrored (or created):

package
packages-split
deploy-rpms
...

Is it possible that we only mirror the deploy-rpms (suppose PACKAGE_CLASSES = "package_rpm"), turn off the package, packages-split and other unneeded files. This would save a lot time and disk space when we use the sstate cache. Or we mirror all of them by default, but we can turn off some of them (e.g., turn off package and packages-split) by the configuration variable.

As mentioned in other bugs, we do need this data so I don't think we should add any special case handling for this, it will just cause more problems than its worth.
