What exactly do you want to do in the docker? Just create images?

If a package is done and not rebuilt, then you don't need the corresponding directory in build-target / build-host and packages/. > The major caveat seems to be the sources directory.

Get, prepare, compile, install etc. There is a dependency on the source archive. However, it's a "existence only" dependency, so the timestamp of the file does not matter. It should be possible to replace all the source archives with empty files. > Is there a proper way ptxdist can accomodate this usecase? I don't find it > unresonable.

As soon as some dependency triggers a rebuilt then it will break apart with strange errors. And you'll probably need to rebuild most of the BSP. And changing that is quite complex.
