rm_work_and_downloads.bbclass: more aggressively minimize disk usage
rm_work.bbclass never deletes downloaded files, even if they are not going to be needed again during the build. rm_work_and_downloads.bbclass is more aggressive in minimizing the used disk space during a build, but has other disadvantages: - sources required by different recipes need to be fetched once per recipe, not once per build - incremental builds do not work reliably because sources get removed without ensuring that sources gets fetched again That makes rm_work_and_downloads.bbclass useful for one-time builds in a constrained environment (like a CI system), but not for general use.

7# This class is used like rm_work:
8# INHERIT += "rm_work_and_downloads"
9#
10# In addition to removing local build directories of a recipe, it also
11# removes the downloaded source. This is achieved by making the DL_DIR
12# recipe-specific. While reducing disk usage, it increases network usage (for
13# example, compiling the same source for target and host implies downloading
14# the source twice).
15#
16# Because the "do_fetch" task does not get re-run after removing the downloaded
17# sources, this class is also not suitable for incremental builds.
18#
19# Where it works well is in well-connected build environments with limited
20# disk space (like TravisCI).
