A 500 KB source file is always harder to manage,
and can have section title conflicts.

So, the "Common Tasks" document is gone and all
its constituents are moved up one level.
You now have 40 chapters in the Development Tasks Manual.

Conserving Disk Space
*********************
Conserving Disk Space During Builds
===================================
To help conserve disk space during builds, you can add the following
statement to your project's ``local.conf`` configuration file found in
the :term:`Build Directory`::
INHERIT += "rm_work"
Adding this statement deletes the work directory used for
building a recipe once the recipe is built. For more information on
"rm_work", see the
:ref:`rm_work <ref-classes-rm-work>` class in the
Yocto Project Reference Manual.
Purging Duplicate Shared State Cache Files
==========================================
After multiple build iterations, the Shared State (sstate) cache can contain
duplicate cache files for a given package, while only the most recent one
is likely to be reusable. The following command purges all but the
newest sstate cache file for each package::
sstate-cache-management.sh --remove-duplicated --cache-dir=build/sstate-cache
This command will ask you to confirm the deletions it identifies.
.. note::
The duplicated sstate cache files of one package must have the same
architecture, which means that sstate cache files with multiple
architectures are not considered as duplicate.
Run ``sstate-cache-management.sh`` for more details about this script.
