Every run we are doing a full tar.gz of the chroot environment that never gets used. It's not suitable for CI since we use fresh images each time there. The cache in general isn't really isn't a very safe thing to have around, because there's no invalidation procedure and no real way to make one -- we've no guarantee that a new chroot build even moments after a previous one wouldn't bring in or different packages, etc (of course this is *unlikely*, but the longer you go between builds the worse the problem becomes. Also, tons of packages get installed after this not from any cache, so potential speed-up is rather marginal. Debian turned this off with I58fc485aacacaa17243bf9ce760ed91256d1f182. However, given the reasons above and it's complete lack of testing, I don't see this as useful. If we really want this type of thing, I think we should come up with a way to use a persistent external yum/dnf cache that yum/dnf keeps in sync with it's usual invalidation rules.
