Hi Goran,
The problem with using the SM Cache for this "image building scripts"
is that you need to keep a unique sm/ folder for all your images, which
is not always desirable or even possible (think in a PC at home, and a
PC at work for example).
What I like of the SAR approach is that it is very self-sufficient. You
just bundle everything you need in the sar and you execute it in any
image you want.
Regards,
Hernán
