Under more thoughts, yes, we need the --no-dereferece otherwise the
touch may update the file in the SSTATE_MIRRORS, and it's safe to touch
a symlink itself (though "test -w" follows symlink) since the permissions
of symbolic links are never used.
For readonly_dir/ssfile, we can touch the ssfile if "test -w ssfile",
it doesn't care about the dir's write permission. Or do we have to
check the permission of "dirname ${SSTATE_PKG}" and ${SSTATE_DIR} ?
I don't think that we need unless it causes errors.
For the ISO, the "test -w {SSTATE_PKG}" would fail so that no touch,
here is the updated code, also in the repo:
diff --git a/meta/classes/sstate.bbclass b/meta/classes/sstate.bbclass
index ead829e..78766c0 100644
