That said, the question of how to be able to reliably reproduce an old
yocto build is a valid one. But one needs to prepare for it:
- preserve the download directory
- preserve all the layer checkouts
- not use AUTOREV for anything
- put the build in a container with an appropriate host distribution
and no network access (so that recipes won't be able to fetch random
things from the network)
- run test builds inside that container without sstate (e.g. once a week)

If this work isn't done, then one won't be able to rebuild things in
the future :-/
