it works like this: If you call kiwi with the option:
kiwi --prepare .... --cache /some/cache/dir
it will check if there is a clicfs file (the cache) which can be re-used
as cache for this image. If the cache can be used the clicfs is mounted with
some cow file for write operations (5GB fixed at the moment) and the
packagemanager only has to install the rest which is not already part of the
cache
if there is no cache kiwi builds it. It uses the patterns and the package list
of the config.xml and build a cache for each of these groups. Especially the
patterns are re-usable at any time which works great
it's possible to have a cache server with a bunch of clicfs cache files and
re-use them for the different kiwi --prepare operations. We plan to use that
inside Studio but it could also be interesting for the preload department
..let's see
