Description

if CACHE_VERSION=1 in build.sh, it gets written to a file in vagrant box. When build.sh is run it compares the CACHE_VERSION to the file; if they don't match (or more specifically if build.yaml is greater than the file), clean cache, update file, continue so if I say remove a while load of packages from my build.sh command, I can bump the version number and ensure on the next run everything is cleaned up. I don't then have to wait for nightly job and make a second change (I'll forget/be lazy

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing build.sh script to understand the current caching mechanism. Decide on a CACHE VERSION implementation approach, such as reading from an environment variable or a config file, and modifying the script to check and update the cache version.
