If I'm doing multiple unrelated Yocto based projects, and they use the same version of Yocto, and the same metadata (except for my own layers), am I right in assuming that I can share everything in poky, downloads, and sstate-cache, and I only need separate build directories? (I normally put downloads and sstate-cache next to my build directory, rather than inside it.)
You can share BOTH the downloads and sstate-cache. You can safely share sstate-cache between various versions of Yocto (OE) and distros, machines, etc., it was designed just for that.
Our build server keeps a single sstate-cache for about 30 projects, with 4 versions of OE, 3 distros, and a dozen MACHINE configs. No problems encountered.
