Question about the local cache. The common scenario I run into (common for me at least) is I have an app that I push out to a machine and it downloads to cache. Then I realize I need to make a change to the install script for example so I update the content to include the new version of the install script (rest of the files stay the same). As you know, it creates a new cache folder for the new version that's identical to the old version, just the script file has been updated. Why wouldn't it just update the one file that has changed in the existing cache folder? Seems to me that this is just needlessly taking up extra space. Especially if the app is several hundred MB, not only does it take extra time to re-download the entire package source but it would also require double the hdd space. It did that in 2007 as well (correct me if I'm wrong) so I guess I'm just curious if anyone knows the reasoning behind that - maybe I'm not thinking of something. What's the logic for keeping old versions of cache if its never going to be used again? And also, is there a way to programmatically remove the cache folder for an old version? Or does it do that on its own after a certain period of time?
