We are generating pre-build cache for most used variants to speed up de-bootstrap process significantly. Initial cache creation script was a complex set of scripts and config files driven by Github actions. We need to move things to Actions, clean the mess and improve its creation. The main problem persist - cache names is define from package hash and if package name changes, hash changes. Sadly this is not good enough since we can generate cache with the same name, but different binary content.
Input information for cache creation is package list. At that time we don’t know what will be the size or their versions.
