Can kas-container start a hash-equiv-server?

[Jörg Sommer]

Hello,

the environment inside the kas-container during a build is isolated. What's
the best way to start an hash equivalence server during the build in a
kas-container? It would need to run ./bin/bitbake-hashserv from the bitbake
repository.

Best regards, Jörg

Haven't played with that server yet. My current understanding is that it
just needs access to the sstate cache that was produced by previous
builds. If so, why do we need to run the server during a build? Why
can't we just start it outside of a container after preparing the sstate
cache?
