I've tried this briefly. From the UI side of things, it's pretty much ok,
but I am not sure if it's working as expected. This is what I did:

* I tried to start Toaster with an existing sqlite file, but I got a
migration error

django.db.utils.OperationalError: no such table:
orm_customimagerecipe_packages
Failed migrations, aborting system start
Failed start.


I think that file was created with the latest toaster-next: maybe the
branch just needs rebasing.

* I created a project and left the default values for DL_DIR and
SSTATE_DIR (build/downloads and build/sstate-cache)

* Built zlib

* I changed the DL_DIR and SSTATE_DIR values from the bitbake variables
page in the project configuration to build/down and build/sstate
respectively

* rebuilt zlib

My build directory now has build/downloads, build/down, build/sstate-cache
and build/sstate directories. But the build did not create anything inside
build/down or build/sstate. Then I deleted the build/downloads and
build/sstate-cache and ran another build: nothing was created in the
build/down directory, but some sstate files where generated and stored in
build/sstate. Then I removed the /tmp directory, and in that case yes:
sources were downloaded to /build/down and sstate files stored in
build/sstate.

Now, this might be the expected behaviour, but I somehow assumed that if I
changed the location of the DL_DIR, the build would disregard sources
downloaded to any other directory and download again everything. But that
could be a completely wrong assumption.

One thing I've not tested is what happens if you set DL_DIR or SSTATE_DIR
to a location outside of the build directory.

Also, on a previous occasion I tried this branch, I was able to start it
with a an existing sqlite file. When I tried to create a project, I got
this error:
