The layerindexlib module is designed to permit programs to work directly with layer index information. (See layers.openembedded.org...) The layerindexlib module includes a plugin interface that is used to extend the basic functionality. There are two primary plugins available: restapi and cooker. The restapi plugin works with a web based REST Api compatible with the layerindex-web project, as well as the ability to store and retried a the information for one or more files on the disk. The cooker plugin works by reading the information from the current build project and processing it as if it were a layer index. TODO: __init__.py: Implement local on-disk caching (using the rest api store/load) Implement layer index style query operations on a combined index common.py: Stop network access if BB_NO_NETWORK or allowed hosts is restricted cooker.py: Cooker - Implement recipe parsing
