Why I did it
Optimize the version control for Debian packages.
Fix sonic-slave-buster/sources.list.amd64 not found display issue, need to generate the file before running the shell command to evaluate the sonic image tag.
When using the snapshot mirror, it is not necessary to update the version file based on the base image. It will reduce the version dependency issue, when an image is not run when freezing the version.
How I did it
Not to update the version file when snapshot mirror enabled.
How to verify it
During docker build, host files can be passed to the docker build through
docker context files. But there is no straightforward way to transfer
the files from docker build to host.
This feature provides a tricky way to pass the cache contents from docker
build to host. It tar's the cached content and encodes them as base64 format
and passes it through a log file with a special tag as 'VCSTART and VCENT'.
Slave.mk in the host, it extracts the cache contents from the log and stores them
in the cache folder. Cache contents are encoded as base64 format for
easy passing.
