What issues does this PR fix or reference?
At some of our development systems, the salt minions kept filling up the filesystem with nightly build artifacts.
This pull request modifies the
saltutil.clear_cache
function to accept an optional threshold time when clearing files from the cache directory.Previous Behavior
All files in the cache folder were deleted.
New Behavior
Only cached files older than the (optional) threshold are deleted.
Specifying no explicit threshold defaults to the old behaviour.
