Description Richard Purdie 2018-03-29 01:49:06 UTC

We used to have lib/bb/shell.py which was an interactive bitbake shell:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=ba54521c6782b5ca16581676dd6c603e5ed983b4

That code no longer works but it would be good to restore the functionality in some new form, compatible with memory resident bitbake and knotty.
